Range
This is the distance that can still be travelled on the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the distance that can still be travelled is less than approx. 25 km (around 15 miles), only three dashes are shown.
Average consumption
This is the ratio between the fuel consumed and the distance travelled since the last reset to zero for the Journey selected.
Instantaneous consumption
This is the result from the consumption recor-ded within the last 2 seconds. This function is only available when travelling at over 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).
Average speed
This is obtained, from the last reset to zero of the trip computer, by dividing the distance travelled by the time taken (with ignition switched on).
Distance travelled
