Introduction
The Trip computer is used to display information on car

allows you to define two separate trips, called “Trip A”
and “Trip B”, for monitoring the car’s “complete mission”

Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new jour-
ney).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Journey time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
NB“Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Trip B on”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.
