TRIP COMPUTER
Introduction
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows
you to define two separate trips called
“Trip A” and “Trip B” for monitoring the
car’s “complete journey” in a reciprocal-
ly independent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset – start
of a new journey).
“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Outside temperature;
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on multifunction display
only, shall be used to display the figures
relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
NB“Trip B” functions may be excluded
(see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption” parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the
vehicle passenger compartment.
Range
This indicates the distance which may be
travelled with the fuel in the tank assum-
ing that driving style does not change. The
display will show the reading “- - - -“ when
the following events take place:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
a long time.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new journey.Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of the new journey.
Instant fuel consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“- - - -” will appear on the display if the car
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car’s average speed
based on the overall time elapsed since the
start of the new journey.
Journey time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new journey.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “- - - -” will appear in-
stead of the Trip Computer values.
Counting of the different values will be re-
sumed regularly when normal operation
is restored. This will not cause any reset-
ting of the values displayed before the fail-
ure nor the starting of a new journey.

The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precautions
are needed though. Avoid prolonged
and/or excessive rubbing against cloth-
ing accessories such as metal buckles
and Velcro strips which, by applying
a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area, could cause some threads to
break, thereby damaging the upholstery.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel in ac-
cordance with any additional information
supplied by the manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current reg-
ulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight of
the car on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used, which is generally
placed on a special bracket fastened to the
towing device, and a special ECU should
be installed on the car to control the trail-
er’s exterior lights.
Seven- or 13-pin 12VDC connections
should be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow any instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or the
towing device manufacturer.An electric brake or winch should be pow-
ered directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The engine must be running
to use the electric brake or winch.
In addition to the electrical appliances, the
car’s electrical system may be connected
only to the supply cable for an electric
brake and the cable for a light inside the
trailer with a wattage of no more than
15 W.
For connections, use the preset control
unit with a battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
2. Respect each country’s specific speed lim-
its for vehicles towing trailers. The top
speed must not exceed 100 km/h at any
time.
You should fit a suitable stabiliser to the
trailer.
The ABS with which the car
may be equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is therefore
required on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the car.
