It is important that you refuel when
the cruising range falls below
approx. 35 miles/50 kilometers. Other-
wise, the engine cannot be guaranteed
to operate properly and damage may
result.<
Average speed
If you continue to hold the button on the
turn signal lever, the average fuel con-
sumption being displayed for that
speed is recalculated from that point in
time.
Average fuel consumption
Any time spent when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is shut off is
ignored for the calculation.
If you continue to press and hold the
button on the turn signal lever, the aver-
age fuel consumption being displayed
is recalculated from that point.
If you wish, you can have the aver-
age fuel consumption displayed in
a different unit of measure.<
Range
The computer bases its calculations of
the cruising range on the preceding
driving style and on the remaining fuel
in the tank.
