Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on current and
average fuel mileage, average speed, fuel range and
driving time .
Fig. 15 Trip computer
di sp lay : Average fuel
mileage
The follow ing information is conti nuously evaluated by the trip
computer and can be displayed sequentially in the instrument cluster
display :
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display.
Thi s tells you how far your vehicle will be able to travel on the current
tank of fuel and with the same driv ing style . The display changes in
increments of 6 miles (10 km).
The cruis ing range is ca lculated based on the fuel consumpt ion for
the last 18 miles (30 km). If you drive conservatively, the cruising
range will increase.
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km) s ince you last cleared
the memory appears in this d isp lay. You can use this d isplay to adjust
your dr iving tech nique to achieve a des ired mileage. .,,.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles per gallon (l/100 km) is
show n in this display . You can use this disp lay to adjust your driv ing
technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Fuel consumption is recalculated at intervals of 33 yards (30 meters).
Th is display switches to gallons/hour (liters/hour) when the vehicle is
not moving .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last time the display was
reset appears in the display.
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been driving since you last reset the
memory appears in this display.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the last time the memory
was cleared appears in the display .
[I) Tips
• Fuel consumptions (average and current), range and speed are
displayed in metric units on Canadian models.
• All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is
disconnected .•

Memories
The trip computer is
equipped with two fully automatic
memories as well as an efficiency program*.
Fig . 16 Trip computer
display: memory level
1
You can switch between the trip computer 1 and 2 and the efficiency
program* by pressing the [
RESET] button @=> page 26, fig . 17 .
You can tell which memory level is currently active by the number or
the sign in the display => fig. 16. The data from the single-trip
memory (memory leve l 1) is being displayed if a
1 appears in the
display . If a
2 is shown, then the data from the total -trip memory is
being displayed (memory level 2). The fuel pump nozzle
ii indicates
the efficiency program*=>
page 27.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The sing le-trip memory stores the trip information from the time the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition was turned off, the new
data will be included in the calculation of the current trip informa
tion.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours the memory is
reset automatically.
Total-tr ip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not reset
automatically. This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire pe riod between manual resets. _..

The trip computer will not operate unless the ignition is on. When you
turn on the ignition, the function that was in use when yo u last turned
the ignition off will be d isplayed.
In addition to information on the trip computer (trip computer 1 and
2 and the efficiency program*), the dig ital speedometer and informa
tion regarding the navigation system* can also be displayed. To
switch the d isp lay between the different informat ion, tap the
[RESET I button @ briefly.
Setting values to zero
To delete one current value from the trip computer, select the
desired function and press the
I RESET I button @ for at least one
second. The following values can be set to zero
individually :
• Average fuel mileage
• Average speed
• Elapsed time
• Distance
All curre ntly displayed values are deleted in the effic iency program*.
In addition,
all the values in the single-trip or the total-trip memory
can be deleted simultaneous ly =>
page 26 .
(I) Tips
All stored values will be lost if the vehi cle battery is disconnected. •
Basic Settings for the trip computer
The radio or MM!* operating unit is used for setting the
trip computer's basic settings.
-Select: Function button [CARI> Instrument cluster > On-
board computer 1
or On-board computer 2.
Th e values in the single -trip or the total-trip memory can all be reset
to zero at the same time under

In addition, you can determine what information from the trip
computer should be shown in the instrument cluster display.
If one
of the p ieces of driver information is turned
Off , that driver informa
tion will not be shown in the display. The information w ill continue to
be calculated by the trip computer and can be turned back
On at any
