Just bought yesterday.The trip computer states at times 90 mpg ,and various outputs.pertaining to instantaneous mpg. What does it mean? Also yesterday recieved a cell call and static was produced out of radio (figured the signals were intefering)?

Replying to: frankctx1 (Nov 24, 2007 6:57 am) The display will give you a range of read-outs : instantaneous mpg, average mpg, average speed, miles to empty tank etc etc etc. They are exactly what they say. The average mpg is only a guide and then only over reasonable distances, i.e. not a couple of miles. You can select the read-out you want by rotating the ring on the left-hand stalk, (at least it's on the left in my RHD S60), or you can turrn that bit of the display off if you wish. Can't comment on the radio/cellphone interference but something isn't shielded. You need to talk to an auto electrician, I think. Replies to this message: frankctx1 (Nov 24, 2007 10:03 am)
