The trip computer stores information gathered from several systems in your vehicle 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)
• DSTC (see page 153 for detailed information)
NOTE
Warning messages from the vehicle'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.
1. Trip computer controls and functions
The trip computer functions can be accessed
by twisting INFO (B) one step at a time in either
direction. Twisting a final 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).
2. Driving distance on current fuel
reserve
This function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank. The calculation is based on average fuel
consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km)
of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank when the reading was taken.
When "----" is displayed in the text window, refuel as soon as possible.
3. 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.
4. Current fuel consumption
This value indicates the current fuel consumption,
based on readings taken once per second.
When the vehicle is not moving, "----" will be displayed.
5. 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.
6. Current speed in miles per hour
(Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous
conversion of the vehicle's current
speed from km/h to mph.
NOTE
Trip computer readings may vary slightly
depending on the circumference of the tires
on the vehicle and driving style.
