relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time).

mi)
car parked with engine running for a
long period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation
can be affected by several factors:
driving style, type of route (motorway,
urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions
of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
