The following information is continuo usly evalu­
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
seq uent ia lly in the instrument cl uster display:
Fue l range
The estimated cruising range in m iles (km) ap­
pears in t he disp lay . This te lls you how fa r your
vehicle wi ll be able to travel on the current tank
of fuel and with the same driving style. The dis ­
p lay changes in increments of 5 mi les (10 km) .

since yo u last cleared the memory appears in this
disp lay . You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display . Yo u
can use th is disp lay to adjust your d riving techni ­
q ue to achieve a desi red mileage .
F ue l consumption is reca lcula ted at interva ls of
33 yards (30 meters). This d isplay switches to

moving.
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last
time the display was reset appears in the display.
Elapsed time
T he length of time that you have been driving

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully au­
