With the display showing one of the

journey parameters, press button 4 or 5

until the display is reset.

Interpreting some of the

values displayed after

resetting

The values showing average fuel con-

sumption, range and average speed

will become more stable and reliable

the further you travel after pressing the

reset button.

For the first few miles after pressing

the reset key you will notice that the

range increases as you travel. This

range takes into account the average

fuel consumption since the last time the

reset button was pressed. Therefore,

the average fuel consumption may de-

crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating

temperature (if the engine was cold

when the reset key was pressed);

– when driving from an urban area

onto the open road.

Automatic resetting of the

journey parameters

Resetting occurs automatically when

the maximum value of any of the pa-

rameters is exceeded.
