button
To reset the trip mileage recorder,
select the Trip mileage recorder
display, then press key 2until the
recorder is reset.
Resetting of the journey
parameters
With one of the trip parameters
selected on the display, press

Interpreting some of the values
displayed after resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and
reliable the further you travel since
the last time the reset button was
pressed.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset button you may notice:
 that the range increases as you
travel.
This is normal; average fuel
consumption may decrease when:
- the vehicle stops accelerating,
- the engine reaches its operating temperature (engine cold when
reset button pressed),
- when you drive from a built up area on to the open road.  that the average fuel consumption
increases when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine idling.
This is normal since the computer
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
Automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
A reset is automatic when the
maximum value for any of the
parameters is exceeded.
