average speed - how is is calculated? - 12/31/2007 1:20:08 PM    mht2007   Posts: 18 Score: 0 Joined: 12/31/2007 Status: offline With LR2 we always see on display average speed, which absolutely doesn't reflect true speed and also it is always lower than we drive. We even though that probably it is in miles and not in kilometers. Our service manager claims that it is calculated as average for the month. Can Land rover engineers implement such rudicilous calculation and to have nobody concerned? No any indication in the manuals or specifications. We drove mltiple europeian cars, which have same functionality and ave. speed displays true ave. speed, correlated every several seconds, which is helpful and gives some indication, when you drive long distance. I called to North America customer service and they have know idea of what should be displayed - busy to find out the answer. Where can we find someone, who knows to give us reasonable answers on LR2?   Post #: 1

We have checked it this morning and that is exactly the way it works. It starnge that Land Rover customer service doesn't know that. User Manual also doesn't have any details and they should, probably... (in reply to 05LandRover) Post #: 3

The instrument cluster calculates an average value of the amount of usable fuel from the two signals. Every 200 meters of vehicle travel the instrument cluster re-calculates this value to determine how much fuel has been used. The value is then averaged over the last 31 miles (50 kilometers) of travel and displayed in the trip computer.    but generally speaking - trip computer reset fixes the problem (in reply to mht2007) Post #: 4

MPG, trip, etc., all start at zero. If you don't clear it, then all of your slow, city driving is going to bring the average down.   _____________________________ VermontRoverGal-they can have my Land Rover when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers!
