The distance travelled will now be recorded in kilometers and tenths of a kilometre up to 999.9 km, and then only in kilometres up to 9999 km (or 619.9 miles and 6199 miles respectively).
When this maximum distance has been reached, the trip meter and elapsed time functions will be reset to zero automatically and counting will start afresh.
The trip meter can be re-calibrated if the tires are changed see under "Calibrating the trip meter" below.
B Distance to destination
If the distance is less than 1000 kilometres, the function will record kilometres and tenths of a kilometre. It will then record kilometres up to a maximum of 9999 km (or 620 miles and 6199 miles respectively).

D Average speed
Average speed is calculated as the distance recorded by the trip meter divided by the elapsed time.
1 Reset the trip meter to zero by pressing this button.
Press it for at least 4 seconds until all display segments light up.
Important : This will also reset the "elapsed time" and "trip meter".
Immediately after resetting, the current speed of the car will be displayed for about 3 minutes followed by the average speed (the symbol - will light up in the display).
Calibrating the trip meter
If the tires are changed for others of a different size (wheel diameter), the trip meter can be recalibrated.
