“Trip B”, available on multifunction display
only, shall be used to display the figures
relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” function can be excluded
(see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” cannot be re-
set.Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of the new mission.
Instant consumption
This value shows instant fuel consumption
(this value is updated second by second).
If parking the car with engine on,
the display will show “----”.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as
a function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip
computer values are displayed with “----”.
When normal operating condition is re-
set, calculation of different units will
restart regularly. Values displayed before
the failure will not be reset. Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the car can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried. The display will
show “----” in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
IMPORTANT The variation of the auton-
omy value can be influenced by different
factors: driving style (see what is described
in paragraph “Driving style” in the chap-
ter “Start-up and driving”), type of route
(highways, urban, mountain, etc…), use
conditions of the car (load transported,
tire pressure, etc…). What was described
previously must be taken in consideration
when planning a trip.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.

POSSIBILITY OF ICE
ON THE ROAD
When the outside temperature reaches
or goes under 3°C the outside tempera-
ture indicator flashes to signal the possi-
bility of ice on the road.
The display visualizes the specific message.
LIMITED FUEL DISTANCE
The display shows this message in order
to inform the user that the amount of fu-
el left in the tank will last for less than
50km.SET SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED
The display shows the specific message
when the vehicle exceeds the set speed
limit ( see “Multifunctional resettable dis-
play” in the “Instrument panel and con-
trols” chapter). ASR SYSTEM
The ASR system can be disconnected by
the pressure of the ASR OFFbutton.
The display shows this specific message to
inform the driver of the system discon-
nection; simultaneously the led on the
push button lights up.
If you push the ASR OFFbutton again
the led turns off and the display shows a
specific message in order to inform the
driver that the system has been reinstat-
ed.
