The temperature range goes from –40°C to +58°C. If the car is
stationary or if driving at slow speed the indicated temperature
may be slightly higher than the real temperature due to engine
heat.
If the outside temperature is between +4°C and –7°C the ice
symbol will appear on the display (warning for icy road).
This symbol will flash at first for about 5 seconds and then remain
lit while the outside temperature is not above +4°C or below –7°C.

Instantaneous consumption is shown in l/100 km. The computer
calculates the consumption every 30 meters. When the vehicle is
stationary the computer will display the last value in the memory.
On some models, the display will show fuel consumption in
ltr/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position with the engine
running.
If the instantaneous consumption display is selected when the
engine is started, the computer will indicate the average
consumption for the first 30 to 40 meters.
You can use this display to adjust your driving style to the desired
fuel consumption.

This mode shows the average fuel consumption only and not the
consumption at the time of reading.
Once the memory is deleted the display will show the average
consumption after approximately 30 meters. Until then, the display
will show dashes instead of the value. The value is updated
throughout the trip every 5 seconds.
