The display sequence:
>Cruising range
>Average speed
>Average fuel consumption.
Cruising range
Displays the estimated cruising range
available with the remaining fuel. The sys-
tem calculates the cruising range based on
operating conditions over the last 20 miles/
30 km and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank.
Always refuel as soon as possible
once your cruising range falls to
below 30 miles/50 km, as otherwise engine
functions are not ensured and damage can
occur.<
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption is calculated

ning.
You can use the Control Display to view
your fuel consumption rate over two differ-
ent distances, refer to Computer or Trip
computer.
To reset the average fuel consumption:
press the BC button in the turn signal lever
for approx. 2 seconds.
Average speed
Periods with the vehicle parked and the
engine off are not included in the calcula-
tions of average speed.
To reset the average speed: press the
BC button in the turn signal lever for
approx. 2 seconds.
