Range
This is the distance that can still be travelled on the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the distance remaining to be travelled is l e s s t h a n a p p r o x . 2 5 k m ( 1 5 m i l e s ) , o n l y t h r e e dashes will be displayed.
Average consumption
This is the relationship between the fuel con-sumed and the distance travelled since the last reset to zero of the trip computer.
Instantaneous consumption
This is the result from the consumption r e c o r d e d w i t h i n t h e l a s t 2 s e c o n d s . T h i s f u n c -tion is only available when travelling at over 3 0 k m / h ( a p p r o x . 2 0 m p h ) .
Average speed
This is obtained, from the last reset to zero of the trip computer, by dividing the distance trav-elled by the time taken (with ignition switched on).
Distance travelled
This is the distance that has been travelled s i n c e t h e l a s t r e s e t t o z e r o o f t h e J o u r n e y selected.
Distance to be travelled
