Video tutorial

This video illustrates the main functions of the on-board computer along with the information it can provide to the driver. The first function is the outside temperature.

Using a specific button located on one of the levers behind the steering wheel, you can change the information displayed on the on-board computer. The second function is the average fuel consumption (measured in miles per gallon in the video).

Next, we have the range in miles that the car can travel with the remaining amount of gasoline. We also have the average speed.

This data is based on a specific "trip" that can be reset by holding the aforementioned button for about three seconds. To reset the odometer, press the button that protrudes from the glass of the speedometer.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the almost obvious function of the computer to count the miles traveled.
