TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” displays information
(with ignition key at MAR), relating to the
operating status of the car. This function
comprises two separate and independent
trips: “Trip A” and “Trip B” concerning
the “complete mission” of the car (jour-
ney).
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B” displays 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.
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.

for long periods, especially if there are sev-
eral people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(where provided)
This device heats up the passenger com-
partment more rapidly in cold weather
conditions with the engine coolant tem-
perature very low.
The additional heater is activated auto-
matically by starting the engine, turning
knob Ato the last red sector and oper-
ating the fan (knob C) on at least first
speed.
The radiator is turned off automatically
