03 Instruments and controls
Trip computer
Average
Average fuel consumption is calculated from
the last resetting.
Range - distance to empty tank
The trip computer shows the approximate
distance that can be driven with the fuel
quantity remaining in the tank.
The car's trip computer records and calcu-
lates vales such as e.g. distance, fuel con-
sumption and average speed whilst driving.
NOTE
No guaranteed range remains when the head-
ing Distance to empty shows "----".
Trip computer content and appearance varies
depending on whether the combined instru-
ment panel is analogue or digital:
There may be a slight deviation if a fuel-
driven heater* has been used.
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.

•
Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
During gas operation the trip computer shows
the equivalent average consumption of gas.

Average speed
NOTE
The average speed is calculated for the driv-
ing distance driven since the last reset to
zero.
There may be a slight deviation if the driv-
ing style has been changed.
Instantaneous
An economic driving style generally results in
a longer driving distance. For more informa-
tion on how fuel consumption can be influ-
enced, see Volvo Car Corporation 's Environ-
mental Philosophy (p. 23).
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.
Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for
the display - see section "Change unit"
(p. 121).
NOTE
The information from the trip computer can be
shown in the combined instrument panel's infor-
Display of distance to empty only applies
to the petrol tank.

Applies to Bi-Fuel* cars
During gas operation the trip computer shows
the equivalent consumption of gas.
Trip meter
The trip computer has two trip meters and
one odometer for the total mileage.

The appearance and showing of the display may vary depending on the instrument variant.
