BC V Operation
BC V Operation
Fuel consumption - Two average fuel consumption values can be monitored. Pressing the [CONSUM] button once will display the first value and pressing it a second time will call up the second value. The BC calculates the average fuel consumption based on the "ti" and road speed (signal A) inputs.
Pressing [SERIES] clears the displayed value allowing the BC to start a new calculation.
Outside temperature - Pressing the [TEMP] button will display the current outside temperature. The temperature sensor is located in the front air dam. The sensor's input is dampened when the vehicle is stopped so that engine heat will not influence the temperature display.
The BC includes an ice warning that will sound the gong and display the outside temperature when it drops below 37 °F. The temperature reading will flash anytime it is displayed when the temperature is below this value.
Average miles per hour - Pressing the [SPEED] button will display the average miles per hour. The BC calculates this value based on the road speed signal input and the time. Pressing [SERIES] button will start a new calculation.
Distance/Arrival time - The feature allows you to program a distance to a destination with the input keys. Press the [DIST] button, an area for the total distance in will display. Using the numerical buttons, enter the mileage. Press the [SERIES] button and the BC will calculate the estimated arrival time based on mileage remaining, average miles per hour the vehicle is traveling and existing clock time.
Driving range on fuel in tank - The estimated driving range on the remaining fuel in the tank is calculated by the BC from the "ti" signal and current road speed input signal. A "+" sign along with the mileage indicates a full tank.
Maximum miles per hour - A speed limit warning can be programmed into the BC with the input number keys. Once set, the warning gong will sound and the set speed will flash in the display block of the BC.
The current driving speed can be set as the warning by selecting [LIMIT] and pressing the [SERIES] button while driving.
Timer Function - The timer operates as a stop watch. Pressing the [SERIES] button with the function called up on the display will start/stop the watch. Pressing the [TIMER] button with the watch running will give a lap time. Pressing the [TIMER] button with the watch stopped will reset the timer to zero.
Code Function - A four digit anti-theft code can be entered into the BC after pressing the [CODE] button when the ignition is switched to KL R. After entering the code and pressing [SERIES], the code function is accepted. Switching KL R off arms the function.
The code function is disarmed by entering the code when the ignition is switched on and then pressing the [SERIES] button.
When active the code function disables the engine management system.
