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.

SETTING THE TRIP COMPUTER

At the start of the journey (or series of 
journeys) to be recorded, reset the 
computer memory to zero as follows:

1. Press the TRIP button on the end of 

the left column lever switch to select a 
trip function. The computer will 
display either TRIP A: or TRIP B: data.

2. Press the A/B switch to select the trip 

(A or B) to be reset.

3. Press the RESET switch and hold for 

three seconds.

The display will read:
RESETTING TRIP A (or B).

Then it will reset and display:
A: 0 (or B: 0) or the new value.

Note: All trip functions for A or B, 
depending on which was selected, will be 
reset.

CLEARING MESSAGES

Messages can be hidden by pressing 
RESET on the trip computer switchpack. 
One press will hide one message. Once all 
messages have been hidden, the display 
will show trip data.

If RESET is pressed again, all active 
messages will be re-displayed. 
Repeatedly pressing the RESET button 
will cycle through the trip and message 
modes.

If a fault occurs when in trip computer, the 
relevant message will be displayed 
immediately.

If a trip computer function is selected by 
pressing the TRIP button while messages 
are displayed, the trip data will be 
displayed for ten seconds then the 
message will reappear.

Hidden messages re-appear after an 
ignition OFF and ON cycle, if the fault 
remains.
