Description

The trip computer on the instrument panel displays the following information:

General Trip:

  • Distance travelled [Km] or [mi]
  • Instant fuel consumption [l/100km] or [mpg]
  • Average consumption [l/100km] or [mpg]
  • Range [Km] or [mi]
  • Average speed [km/h] or [mph]
  • Journey time [hh:mm]

Trip B (partial):

  • Journey distance B Km or mi
  • Average consumption B l/100 km or mpg
  • Average speed B km/h or mph
  • Journey time B hh:mm
The values (B) are calculated from the last resest (pressing the SET button on the stalk unit right lever) or automatically after a stop of 2 h with the ignition off.
When the calculated range value is equal to that of the fuel reserve, the display shows a 'Limited Range' message and a buzzer sounds.

The control panel to the left of the steering wheel in the dashboard contains the buttons for the set up and for switching from one TRIP set of measurements to another:

  • the 'Mode' button confirms the settings (pressed briefly); memorizing the settings and returning to the standard screen (pressed for longer).
  • the '+' and '-' buttons select, set and adjust the functions in the menu
There is also the possibility of showing that the speed limit has been exceeded on the instrument panel. This option can be activated/deactivated using the special setup in the instrument panel.If activated, the instrument panel receives the vehicle speed figure from the network and compares it with the level set; if the current speed exceeds the level set, the instrument panel warns the driver by means of the buzzer.
