If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km) This indicates the distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption during the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h) This is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
Trip reset
 When the trip required is displayed, press the control for more than two seconds or use the left hand thumbwheel of the steering mounted controls. Trips "1" and "2" are independent but their use is identical. For example, trip "1" can be used for daily
figures, and trip "2" for monthly figures.
