Trip Computer

COMPUTER DISPLAY

The computer memory stores data for a
journey, or series of journeys, until it is
reset to zero.

The displayed information is for guidance
only, as it can be affected by traffic, road
and weather conditions.

Two independent memories are available
(A and B) to allow two separate journeys
to be recorded concurrently; for example,
work usage and evening or weekend
usage.

Trip distance, average fuel economy and
average speed will be prefixed A or B
depending on the current memory
selected.

Press the TRIP button on the end of the
left column lever switch repeatedly to
display the data in the following order:
• Trip distance.
• Distance to empty.
• Average fuel consumption.
• Current fuel consumption.
• Average speed.

Odometer

The odometer shows the total vehicle
distance travelled since the vehicle was
new.

When the ignition is switched ON
(position II) the display shows the
odometer and trip distance readings.

The odometer reading is displayed in
either miles or kilometres, depending on
the units selected with the trip computer.

Trip distance (A/B)

Distance travelled since the last memory
reset. The maximum trip reading is 16 090
kilometres (9 999.9 miles). The computer
will automatically reset to zero if this
distance is exceeded.

Distance to empty

Predicted distance, miles or kilometres,
that the vehicle should travel on the
remaining fuel, assuming average fuel
economy and fuel consumption stay
constant.

Average fuel consumption (A/B)

The average fuel consumption, miles per
gallon or litres per 100 kilometres, based
on the accumulated distance travelled
and the accumulated fuel used.

Current fuel consumption

This function shows the instantaneous or
at the moment fuel consumption, which is
continuously updated.

Average speed (A/B)

The average speed since the last press of
the reset button.

SWITCHPACK

ML/km

Pressing the ML/km switch alternately
displays data in metric or imperial units.

A/B

Selects either A or B trip memory. Select
the required data using the column lever
TRIP button and then pressing A/B will
show the A or B information for that data.

RESET
• One short press clears (hides) the

displayed message. Continue to give
brief presses to clear one message
after another until all messages are
cleared. If a further press is made, all
hidden messages are displayed
again.

• Press and hold for three seconds to

reset or clear the selected trip, A or B,
to zero.

Note: If warning messages are hidden,
the warning or fault still exists and requires
investigation.

Warning and information messages have
priority over trip data and, if active, will be
displayed when the ignition is at
position II.

Display language

To change the display language, switch
the ignition ON while pressing the ML/km
switch. The trip computer will display the
current language.

Press the ML/km switch repeatedly to
cycle through the available languages.
Once the correct language is selected,
press the A/B switch. The new language
will be selected after a delay of three
seconds.

Note: If you wish to exit the language
selection function without changing the
display language, you can either press the
RESET switch and wait for ten seconds or
switch the ignition OFF.

ignition OFF and ON cycle, if the fault
remains.
