ney).

– 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).
