Trip Computer - Range (Help)

[Vijay Patel]

Morning all,
Please can somebody help?
I’ve recently purchased a C Class Coupe 250d (2016) and have a question on the trip computer.
The ‘range’ seems to be off in terms of the figure that presents.
As an example, I’ve recently put £30 of diesel in the car but the range is not showing 3 digits (please see the attached picture) - it’s like it’s missing a ZERO at the end. At the moment, it’s showing 47mi but I’d have expected it to show more...
Is this the way it’s meant to be? Or, is there a fault?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Vijay

It bases that range figure on the stored last consumption calculation.
Reset it and try again.

As above.

Just out of interest, what was your average mpg indicating then?

Are you aware on how I can reset it? I’ve pressed the back button but that takes me back to the menu. I’ve also pressed OK and nothing happens...

Think it was 40-50...

Not sure on your model year, but when you're on the Average MPG display, try pressing & holding OK button for 3-5 seconds...

Okay, will give this a go.
2016 is the year.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, sorry... I meant I don't know exact routine on your model year, as mine was a W204.

Certainly on mine the range figure is dependent upon the consumption at the moment. For example, start the car cold and the engine is not very efficient with a poor mpg the range is (for example) 200 miles, when I've driven 2 or three miles down the road and the engine is now efficient with a better mpg the range has gone up to 250. It's just a simple calculation of estimated gallons in the tank/mpg.
