Ambient temperature
Shows the ambient temperature just above the road surface while driving. When the temperature is in the
range 23-36° F(-5 - +2° C), the ambient temperature sensor activates a red warning light.
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature due to the heat generated by the engine.
Tripmeter in miles (Canada: km)
Shows the distance driven since the function was last reset. This value is stored in memory until it is
reset using the reset button on the trip computer control.
Driving distance on current fuel reserve mile 0 (Canada: km)
Shows the distance which can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank, calculated on the basis of the
average fuel consumption and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank at the time of the reading. When
the quantity of fuel drops to below 1.8 US gals. (8liters), a warning light in the instrument panel comes
on and the cursor beside the "Driving Distance on Current Fuel Reserve" symbol is activated. This take
place regardless of the function currently selected. When the driving distance on the current fuel reserve
is less than 5 miles (8 km), the display shows "---".
