Repeatedly press upwards/downwards on the switch 1 to browse between these functions.

From the instrument panel A:

a) trip settings:

• consumption since the last reset and current fuel consumption;
• distance travelled since the last reset;

b) service interval;

Resetting the trip mileage recorder and journey parameters (reset button)

With one of the trip parameters selected as the display, press and hold the switch 1 until the display resets to zero.

Automatic resetting of the journey parameters

Resetting occurs automatically when the maximum value of any of the parameters is exceeded.

Interpreting some of the values displayed after resetting

The values showing average fuel consumption, 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. However, average consumption can decrease 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.
