How to reset trip computer manual by the user on a Fiat Stilo. The “Trip computer” displays information (with ignition key at MAR), relating to the operating status of the car.
This function comprises the “General trip” concerning the “complete mission” of the car (journey) and “Trip B”, concerning the partial mission of the car; this latter function is “contained” (as shown in fig. 25) within the complete mission. Both functions are resettable (reset – start of new mission).
“General Trip” displays the figures relating to:
- Range.
- Trip distance.
- Average consumption.
- Instant consumption.
- Average speed.
- Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” displays the figures relating to:
- Trip distance B.
- Average consumption B.
- Average speed B.
- Trip time B (driving time).
“Trip B” function can be excluded (see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range” and “Instant consumption” cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or mi) that the car can still cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving conditions are kept unvaried. The display will show “—-” if the range value is below 50 km (or 30 mi).
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average consumption from the start of the new mission.
Instant consumption
This value shows instant fuel consumption (this value is updated second by second). If parking the car with engine on, the display will show “—-”.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as a function of the overall time elapsed since the start of the new mission.
Trip time
This value shows the time elapsed since the start of the new mission.
Lacking information, Trip computer values are displayed with “—-”. When normal operating condition is reset, calculation of different units will restart regularly. Values displayed before the failure will not be reset.

The TRIP button, set on right steering column stalk, shall be used (with ignition key at MAR), to display and to reset the previously described values to start a new mission:
- short push to display the different vaues;
- long push to reset and then start a new mission.
New mission starts after:
- “manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the relevant button;
- “automatic” resetting, when the “trip distance” reaches 4999,9 km or when the “trip time” reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59 minutes);
- after disconnecting/reconnecting the battery.
