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 following variants:

Test message

Selected SID language

Refill fuel now

English

Fyll på bränsle

Swedish

Kraftstoff nachfüllen

German

Remplir le réservoir

French

Rifornimento carburante

Italian

Repostar combustible

Spanish



This text message disappears after filling up with fuel when the DTE is calculated to be >50 km (31 miles).
