a change in driving style or road sur- face, accompanied by a significantdrop in current fuel consumption. If there are less than 3 litres of fuel in the tank, only three segments will bedisplayed. Current consumption This gives the fuel consumption recorded during the last two
seconds. This function is displayedonly when the vehicle is travelling atapproximately 15 mph (20 km/h). The display stops at 10 mpg (30 l/100km). Average consumption This is the ratio between the amount of fuel consumed and the distancetravelled since the computer was lastreset to zero. The display stops at 10 mpg (30 l/100km).
