Trip computer – Supplementary information
General information for both Analog and Digital trip computer functions.
Average fuel consumptionFuel consumption since the last time this func- tion was reset.
Average speedThe vehicle's average speed since the last timethis function was reset.
Current fuel consumptionCurrent fuel consumption is calculated approxi-mately once a second. When the vehicle is mov-ing at low speed, fuel consumption is displayedper unit of time. At higher speeds, it is displayedin terms of distance. Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the heading "Changing units".
Distance to emptyThis function shows the approximate distancethat can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. When
Distance to empty shows "----",
there is very little useable fuel remaining in that tank; refuel as soon as possible. The calculationis based on average fuel consumption during thelast 20 miles (30 km) of driving and the amountof fuel remaining in the tank (the accuracy of thisfigure may vary if your driving style changes). An economical driving style will generally increasethis distance. See Economical driving (p. 284) for information about driving economically.
Digital speed display
*Speed is expressed in the unit not used by theinstrument panel's speedometer e.g., if the nor-mal speedometer is in mph, the trip computer willdisplay in the speed in km/h and vice versa.
Resetting an analog instrument panel
Trip odometer(s) and average speed
1. Display trip odometer T1 or T1, or Average
speed.
2. Press and hold RESET until selected func-
tion is reset.
Each trip computer heading must be reset indi- vidually.
Resetting a digital instrument panel
Trip odometer
1. Turn the thumb wheel to select the combi-
