Driver information display
Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on current and
average fuel mileage, avera ge speed, fuel range and

mile age
T he fo llow ing driving information is continuously eva luated by the
t rip co mpute r and can be displayed se quen tially in the instr ument
cl uster d isplay.
Fuel range
The estimated cru ising range in miles (km) appea rs in the display.
Thi s tells you how far your veh icle w ill be ab le to travel o n the cur rent
tank of fuel a nd w ith the same driving sty le . The display changes in
in cremen ts of 6 miles (1 0 km).
Th e cru ising range is calc ulated based on t he f uel consumption for
the last 18 mi les (30 km). I f yo u drive conservatively, the cruising
r an ge will increase.
Average fuel mileage
T he average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km) s ince you last clea red
the memory appears in this display . You can use this display to adjust
your dr iv ing tech nique to achieve a des ired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The ins tan taneous fuel consumption in miles pe r ga llon (l/ 100 km) is
shown in this display . You can use t his disp lay to ad jus t your d riving
technique to achieve a desired m ileage.
Fuel consumpt io n is reca lculated at inte rvals of 33 y ards (30 me te rs).
When the veh icle is stationary, the most recent fue l consumption is
disp laye d.
Average speed
Th e average s peed in mph (km/h) since t he last ti me the display was
reset appea rs i n the display .
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been dr iving since you last reset the
memory appea rs in this display.
[I) Tips
• Fuel consump tions ( average and cu rrent), range a nd speed are
displayed in metr ic units on Canad ian models.
• All stored values will be lost if the vehi cle battery is
disconnected. •

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic
memories .

You ca n switch be twee n the t rip computer 1 a nd 2 by p ressing the
Rese t button @=> fig. 22
You can tell wh ich memory level is currently active by the number in
the display => fig . 21 . The data from t he single-trip memory (memory
level 1) is be ing d isp layed if a
1 appea rs in the display . If a 2 is shown,
then t he data from the total-trip memory is being displayed (memory
level 2) .
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1 )
The sing le-tr ip memory sto res the trip informat ion from the t ime the
ign ition is turned on unt il it is t urned off .
If the trip is cont inued
within 2 hour s from the time the ignition was turned off, the new
data will be included in the ca lculation of the current tr ip informa­
tion .
If the tri p is interrup ted for more than 2 hours t he memory is
reset automatically.
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-tr ip memory is not reset
au tomatically. This pe rmit s you to eva luate yo ur driv ing data fo r the
entire period between manual resets. •
