Average fuel consumption
(“AVG.” shown on display)This mode calculates the average
fuel consumption from the total fuel
used and the distance since the last
average consumption reset. The total
fuel used is calculated from the fuel
consumption input. For an accurate
calculation, drive more than 500 m
(0.3 miles).
The meter's working range is from
0.0 to 99.9 l/100 km (0.0 to 999.9
miles per gallon).
Distance to empty (“RANGE”
show on display)This mode indicates the estimated
distance to empty based on the cur-
rent fuel in the fuel tank and the
amount of fuel delivered to the
engine. When the remaining distance
is below 50 km (30 miles), a blinking
“----” symbol will be displayed.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been
interrupted, the “Distance to
empty” function may not operate
correctly.
The trip computer may not regis-
ter additional fuel if less than 6
liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel are
added to the vehicle.
• The fuel consumption and dis-
tance to empty values may vary
significantly based on driving con-
ditions, driving habits, and condi-
tion of the vehicle.
• The distance to empty value is an
estimate of the available driving
distance. This value may differ
from the actual driving distance
available.
