zeroed
(reset - start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
Trip B allows the display of the following parameters:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instantaneous consumption” cannot be
