TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
is composed by separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip
B” which can monitor the entire mission (journey) in
a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset means start of a new
journey). “Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time)
– Trip A Reset
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time)
– Trip B Reset
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot
be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the present amount of fuel in the tank. The
display will show the reading ‘----’ when the following
events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car parked with engine running for long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several fac-
tors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting
and driving” section), type of route (motorway, towns
and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load,
tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take
the above into account.
Distance travelled
This indicates the approximate distance covered from the
start of the new mission.
