4. Information display - The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient temperature, and the
clock, etc. When the ambient temperature is between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C), a snowflake symbol is shown in
the display. This symbol serves as a warning for possible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not
indicate a fault with your car. At low speeds, or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly
higher than the actual ambient temperature.
5. Information symbol - See the next pages for additional information.

7. Tachometer - Shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with the
needle in the red area of the dial, which indicates maximum allowable engine rpm range. Instead, shift to a higher gear
or slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds.
This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

Controls
The trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting INFO (B) one step at a time in either direction. Twisting a
final time returns you to the original function.
The trip computer can be reset (average fuel consumption and average speed will be erased from system memory) by
pressing RESET (C) for at least five seconds.
MILES TO EMPTY TANK
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 20 miles (30 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 information display.
AVERAGE
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.
INSTANTANEOUS
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per second. When the car is not
moving, "----" will be displayed.
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.
