Hi, I am finding just recently (since my first 1000km service) that I get a really weird consumption reading when I have the engine engaged, but have come to a stop and have pressed the "P" park button. I often find this when I go to pick a friend up from work; I drive approx 10kms (4Miles?) and then stop, put the car into park and wait approx 5 minutes for my friend to come out to where I am waiting. During this time the air-con is not running, the only accessory that is running is the radio and I cannot hear the petrol engine at all. However suddenly when the consumption metre for that 5 minutes clicks over it is showing that the engine consumed 10L/100KM for that 5 minutes I was sitting idle. This is very stange as I know it isn't using any petrol, when running the car for the first 5 minutes I never use more than 7L/100KM. It seems to be a computer glitch but the concern I have is that it is interfering with my overall consumption readings indicating that on average I am using more petrol than I acrually should be.

Has anyone had a similar experience, any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!

Its not wrong, its just if you sit there for about 4 mins, it determines that you didn't drive, and that all that 5 min bar can go off of is the 1 min of driving you did bofore you stopped. So if you drove fast to his house, then stop, the reading will be low.

mmhmm. I agree with Brian. You can have 0.0L/100km for 4mins and have 1 min at 99.9L/100km and the average would show a full bar graph.

I think the word for that is "feature".

Switch to the energy screen, and you will truly know if the HV battery did not get low, and ICE did not run. DC/DC converter to maintain 12V also uses HV battery.
