General information
The “Trip computer” is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON.
This function allows you to define two separate trips,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the
vehicle’s “complete 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:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used
to display the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
NOTE “Trip B” function can be excluded (see paragraph
“Trip B on”). “Range” and “Instant consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.
F0N0019mfig. 19
IMPORTANT If the reset operation is carried out when
“Trip B” is being displayed, only the information

pressing the TRIP button and keeping it pressed for
more than 2 seconds.
Exit Trip
To quit the Trip function: keep button MODE pressed

– “manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the
relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip distance”
reaches 3999.9 km or 9999.9 km (according to the type
of display) or when the “Travel time” reaches 99.59
(99 hours and 59 minutes);
– disconnection/reconnection of the battery.
