TRIP COMPUTERGeneral information
The Trip computer is used to display information
on car operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON. Two separate trips, called “Trip A” and
“Trip B”, are provided to monitor the entire
mission (journey) in a reciprocally independent
manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance covered
❒Average consumption
❒Instantaneous consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
NoteThe “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). The “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can
be travelled with the amount of fuel present in
thetank.“----”will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for an extended
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of
route (motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into
account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”if
the car is parked with the engine running.
