Distance Travelled: The on-board computer keeps track of the total distance travelled by your Peugeot 207 since it was last reset. Average and Instantaneous Speed: The on-board computer can provide the average speed of your vehicle during a journey and also the instantaneous speed, that is, the current speed of the vehicle. Outside Temperature: Many models of the Peugeot 207 include an external sensor that measures the ambient temperature and displays it on the on-board computer. Speed Alarm: Some models may allow you to set a speed limit and receive an alert when you exceed this set speed. Maintenance Reminder: The on-board computer can remind you when it’s time for scheduled maintenance, such as an oil change or filter replacement. Driving Functions: Depending on the model specifications, the on-board computer may offer additional functions, such as timing journey durations, oil temperature, indication of the optimal time to change gears, and more.
