Trip computer The trip computer stores information gathered from several systems in your car and has four menus that can be displayed in the text window. Driving distance on current fuel reserve Average fuel consumption Current fuel consumption Average speed Current speed in mph (Canadian models only) NOTE: Warning messages from the car's monitoring systems will override the trip computer function. If a warning message is displayed in the text window while you are using the trip computer, you must acknowledge the message by pressing button A. Press button A again to return to the trip computer function. Trip computer controls and functions The four* trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting control B one step at a time in either direction. Twisting a fifth time** returns you to the original function. The trip computer can be reset (current data will be erased from system memory) by pressing RESET (button C). 1. Driving distance on current fuel reserve This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading was taken. When the driving distance on current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "---" will be displayed in the text window. 2. Average fuel consumption This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again. 3. Current fuel consumption This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per second. When the car is not moving, "----" will be displayed. 4. Average speed This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored and remains in system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again. 5.
