Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
NOTE: Warning messages from the car's monitoring systems will override the trip computer function. If a warning
message is displayed in the text window while you are using the trip computer, you must acknowledge the message by
pressing button A. Press button A again to return to the trip computer function.
Trip computer controls and functions
The four* trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting control B one step at a time in either direction. Twisting
a fifth** time returns you to the original function.
The trip computer can be reset (current data will be erased from system memory) by pressing RESET (button C).
1. Driving distance on current fuel reserve
This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is
based on average fuel consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank when the reading was taken.
When the driving distance on current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----" will be displayed in the text
window.
2. Average fuel consumption
This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.
3. Current fuel consumption
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per second. When the car is not
moving, "----" will be displayed.
4. Average speed
This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored and remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.
5. Current speed in miles per hour (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from km/h to mph.
NOTE: Trip computer readings may vary slightly depending on the circumferences of the tires on the car.
*Five functions on Canadian models
**A sixth time on Canadian models
