(G) Trip computer

Hello, I have been looking around on a website called allapprovedcars.com and i have just noticed what some puntos have got a trip computer and some have not. Which are the one that have and have not got it.

All advice and other info welcomed!!!!!

If they have wind up windows and no central locking it wont have a computer. On the newer models 2002> the Active comes with a computer and thats quite a basic model.

thanks for that, i thought the early 2000's didnot have one.

Thanks

My yr 2000 1.2 HLX has the trip computer (+ electric windows and remote central locking + etc)

I just need to mke sure it has got electric windows and central locking

thanks

I would take a guess at any older Mk2 with ELX, HLX, sporting or HGT trim will have one, a Mia or base model wont. My 2000 ELX did have one, and I miss it now . If the active's have them, I'd expect all newer Mk2 & Mk2.5 Punto's to come with them - it's not like it costs Fiat much more to add them in.

ok thanks, wot info dose show up on the trip comp??

thanks

Without looking !

MPG
Average Speed
Driving Time
Trip
Total Mileage

It's not really that good.

Bearing in mind that my Punto is my first car (and only having it for about 3months now)...

...what other useful info could/should they have added in your opinion?

Temperature gauge, average and current mpg....??

I have a needle for that......

lol I mean outside temp gauge So you have an idea if its icey etc.....

Outside temperature would be useful, most cars have them. Also on the trip computer I had time driven since last reset. Pretty pointless really. I kept it on average mpg mostly, and once saw 76.1 I think (downhill after a reset after filling).

how do you change list of options so for e.g. mpg and you want to go onto temp gauge???

thanks

It doesnt have a temp readout.......

To scroll between functions there is a button to the right of the dashboard.
