trip computer

[LandyAndy]

Was messing with mine the other day.
For older folk you can have it reading in MPG.The temp can be changed to farenheit too.
The trip meter only reads to 9999.9km,I leave trip B alone to get an average fuel economy.It was reset by the dealer at last service whilst connected to their diagnostics,its stuck on 9999.9km now.My economy on that B trip meter is 9.7L 100Ks.
I stretched the distance to empty on friday,at 1/4 tank it said 200km to empty in Perth,its 165km home.Got home it was down to the 0 mark,red light came on 75km to empty as I pulled into the driveway:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Would love to know how the service due works things out.My guess it has both the date and milage in its sums and gives you an aproximation.Told my friday service due 3050km.Tells me today service due 2850km.Fridays trip would have been 350km,my service will be due to the 12 months not km traveled.Clever buggas arent they????

Andy the mpg and imperial system are far more advanced, so this guy says

His rant is humorous.

Sorry nothing to do with your thread, it just reminded me of it.

Your service due warning would have to go by time and klm for sure.

Your fuel range wasn't too far out, I have never taken notice of trip computers etc, I have never trusted their data.

Andy,the latest Renault vans are even smarter.

The diesel has service intervals of 30 000k,and the vehicle somehow tests the oil itself,and lets you know if it needs to be done earlier :eek:

And the little 1.6l diesel has similar power and torque of a TD5 Disco.

So, why can these magical cars give us all that data, tell you when the battery is getting low in the remote, let you know that your window washer bottle is low, but it WONT tell me I have a blown headlight???? :twisted:

It seriously cant be that hard.

And now, I have a car with NO headlights, as both globes have gone. That is 3 in under a month. Rang the dealer at 5pm today, and they have booked it in urgently.

I know they will charge me for the globes, and I will wear that, but at least they will be under warranty... ;)

110461
Lowest range I've risked

[LandyAndy]

Replacing the globes isnt the issue,its finding out why they are blowing.Has to be an over voltage or earthing issue causing them to blow.

Service due function must be on later models to my 2012. Never come across that display.

It flashes on startup briefly.

The D4 apparently let's you know if you need an earlier service than normal - this would be done by a calculation as to percentage of time under heavy load etc. For example, if towing a 3t van, your service interval should come sooner than cruising the highway unloaded etc

[LandyAndy]

Mine has done none of that.I think its adjusting the km to time due(last service was 10 months ago) due to low km.Service sticker says 40000km if I recal.Im at 26000km.

It would be great to know how that actually works.

As Andy has said,i recon it works it out on time and km's.

A definitive answer would be good.:)

Mine has flashed up it needs a service as well,and it is MY12.When it goes for a service they reset something so the message goes away.
