your driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in mi les
per gallon (l/100 km) is shown in this display .
You can use this display to adjust your driving
technique to achieve a desired mileage. Fuel
consumption is recalcu lated at intervals
of 33 yards (30 meters). This disp lay switches
