Momentary fuel consumption displayWhile driving, the momentary fuel consumption is shown with
a bar graph.
When the momentary fuel consumption surpasses the average

played with a green bar graph. (Type 2)
Be conscious of maintaining the momentary fuel consumption
above the average fuel consumption, it can help you drive with
the better fuel consumption.NOTE

When the momentary fuel consumption cannot be mea-
sured, a bar graph is not shown.


The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.
