vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank.
The message “----” will appear on the dis-
play in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
IMPORTANT Changes of the range value
can be affected by many factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style” in sec-
tion “Starting and driving”), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads,
etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.Trip distance
Indicates the distance covered from the
start of a new mission.
Average consumption
Represents the approximate average con-
sumption from the start of a new mission.
Instant consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message

hicle is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
Represents the vehicle average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of a new mission.Trip time
Indicates the time elapsed since the start
of a new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Counting of
the different values will be resumed reg-
ularly when normal operation is restored.
This will not cause any resetting of the val-
ues displayed before the failure nor start-
ing a new mission.

action, adjust the backrest upright
and keep your head as close as
possible to the head restraint.
