Trip computer - supplementary information
The car's trip computer can record, calculate and show information.
Supplementary information covering several functions follows below.
Average
Average fuel consumption is calculated from the last resetting.
Note
Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
During gas operation the trip computer shows the equivalent average consumption of gas.
Average speed
The average speed is calculated for the driving distance driven since the last reset to zero.
Instantaneous
The information for current fuel consumption is updated continuously - approximately once per second. When the car is driven at low speed the consumption is shown per time unit - at a higher speed it is shown related to mileage.
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for the display - see section "Change unit".
Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
During gas operation the trip computer shows the equivalent consumption of gas.
Range - distance to empty tank
The trip computer shows the approximate distance that can be driven with the fuel quantity remaining in the tank.
No guaranteed range remains when the heading Distance to empty shows "----".
- In which case, refuel as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the average fuel consumption over the last 30 km and the remaining driveable fuel quantity.
Note
An economic driving style generally results in a longer driving distance. For more information on how fuel consumption can be influenced, see Volvo Car Corporation's Environmental Philosophy.
Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
Note
Digital speed display1
The speed is shown in the opposite unit (kmh/mph) in relation to the main instrument. If it is calibrated in mph then the trip computer shows the corresponding speed in km/h and vice versa.
Change unit
You can change unit (km/miles) for distance and speed in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR.
