Resetting the trip odometer

With the display set to total and partial odometer, press button 2 or 3 until the trip odometer resets to zero.

Resetting the trip parameters (Top Départ)

With the display set to one of the trip parameters, press and hold button 2 or 3 until the display resets to zero.

Interpreting certain values displayed after a Top Départ

The average fuel consumption, range and average speed values become more stable and meaningful the greater the distance driven since the last Top Départ.

During the first kilometres after a Top Départ, you may notice the range increasing as you drive. This is because it takes into account the average fuel consumption recorded since the last Top Départ.

However, average fuel consumption may decrease when:

  • the vehicle comes out of an acceleration phase;
  • the engine reaches its operating temperature (Top Départ: cold engine);
  • you switch from urban driving to road driving.

Automatic resetting of the trip parameters

The reset is automatic when the capacity of one of the 2 parameters is exceeded.

h) Service range.

Distance remaining until the next service (displayed in kilometres and months). When the range approaches zero, several cases apply:

  • range less than 1,500 km or one month: the message “service due in” is displayed, followed by the nearest limit (distance or time);
  • range equal to 0 km or service date reached: the message “service required” is displayed, accompanied by the warning light.

The vehicle then requires a service as soon as possible.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the service range adapts to the driving style (frequent driving at low speeds, stop-and-go traffic, prolonged idling, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service may therefore in some cases decrease faster than the distance actually driven. The service interval is independent of the vehicle maintenance schedule: refer to your vehicle's maintenance document.

Reset: to reset the service range, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for about 10 seconds until the service range is shown steadily.
