Range

This indicates the distance which may be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that driving conditions will not change. The message “----” will appear on the display in the following cases:

• Distance less than 30 miles (or 50 km).
• The vehicle is parked for a long time with the engine running.

NOTE: The range depends on several factors: driving style, type of route (freeway, residential, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use of the car (load, tire pressure, etc.).

Trip planning must take into account the above notes.
