Hi

I have a new Polo and it has a "board computer". There is one indication
that I don't know what it is or means... it's called "action radius" and it
shows as "xxx KM ..." and ends in a fuel icon. I thought that it meant how
many km you can drive untill you have to refuel, but the km are adding up
instead of counting down....

Does anyone know what it means??

Thanks!

Sounds like what you say. It is possible it could go up. Say if your car
has spent a long time idling, (or other conditions with very poor fuel
economy) it will use fuel, but go nowhere (or nearly nowhere). If you
then drive, a range counter will go up, as the mpg increases. The better
your fuel consumption, the more it goes up. Why not guess at how much
fuel is in the tank, take an estimate of MPG, and see if the figures add
up, roughly?
