24 Driver information d isplay
Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel range and driving time .
Fig. 9 Trip computer display: Average fuel mileage
The following information is continuously
eva luated by the trip computer and can be dis
played sequentially in the instrument cluster
display:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km)
appears in the display. This tells you how far
your ve hicle wi ll be able to travel on the cur
rent tank of fuel and with the same driving
style. The display changes in increments of
5 miles (10 km).
The cruising range is calcu lated based on the
fuel consumption for the last 18 miles
(30 km).
If you drive conservat ively, the cruis
ing range will increa se.
Average fuel mileage The average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km)
since you last cleared the memory appears in
this display. You can use this display to adjust
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
to gallons/hour (liters/hour) when the vehicle is not moving.
Average speed
T he average speed in mph (km/h) s ince you
last reset the memory appears in the display.
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been driving
s ince you last reset the memory appears in
th is disp lay.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the
last t ime the memory was cleared appears in
the display.
(0 Tips
- Fuel consumptions (average and cur rent), range and speed are displayed in
metric units on Canadian models.
- All stored values will be lost if the vehi

turned
off, the new data will be included in
the calculation of the current trip informa
tion . If the trip is interrupted for
