New trip computer function for DTE (Distance To Empty)
Cars affected
Saab 9-5 M05 Vehicle Identification Number 53511678-
Background
The DTE trip computer function has previously indicated the driving distance possible on the remaining fuel quantity, right down to 0 km. Due to the difficulty in making a precise calculation of the remaining distance, the DTE function in SID has been modified and displays a text message when the DTE is below 30 km (19 miles) instead of the DTE distance.
The text is language dependent and is available in the variants shown.
This Text message disappears after filling up with the fuel when the DTE is calculated to be 50 km (31 miles).
