Trip computer

Depending on the vehicle, this includes the following functions:

  • mileage;
  • trip settings;
  • information messages;
  • operating fault messages (associated with the warning light);
  • warning messages (related to the warning light).

All these functions are detailed in the vehicle user manual.

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

Selections

(the display depends on the vehicle equipment and country)

a) trip settings:

  • average energy consumption since the last reset and current energy consumption;
  • distance travelled since last reset.

b) reset the pressure of the tyres;

c) service interval;

d) trip log, operating faults and information messages.

The functions are displayed in zones 2.

Resetting the journey parameters (reset button)

With one of the trip parameters selected as the display, press and hold the switch 1 downwards 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.

Reading energy consumption values

Some vehicle equipment items consume energy: the energy consumed by the vehicle may therefore differ from the energy consumed on the electric counter.

Interpreting some of the values displayed after resetting

The values showing average energy consumption and range will become more stable and reliable the further you have travelled since the last time the Reset button was pressed.

For the first few miles after pressing the reset key you will notice that the range increases as you travel. This is because the average energy consumption since the last reset is taken into account. However, the average energy consumption may fall when:

  • the vehicle stops accelerating;
  • when driving from an urban area onto the open road.
tip

Some on-board computer information appears on the navigation system display.

The trip settings mileage recorder is reset simultaneously in the on-board computer and the navigation system.

Resetting the estimated range

After the traction battery has been fully recharged, you can select two types of resetting: manual or automatic.

Manual reset

Select the trip setting to reset, then press and hold the switch 1 to reset the range.

Automatic reset

The range is automatically reset when the traction battery is fully charged. The calculated value corresponds to an average use, taking into account the exterior temperature.

If a particularly economical driving pattern is identified, the calculation is corrected and the range is increased.
