A few definitions…


Range

This indicates the distance

with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consump-
tion during the last few seconds.

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)

This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip

This is the average speed cal-

puter zero reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)

This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
