Thank you for purchasing the dashboard TRIP COMPUTER TC-6 designedfor the koda Felicia.

This compact device, which can be perfectly integrated into the cars interior,will become your indispensable assistant and guide. It will inform you of thecurrent as well total fuel consumption, average speed, journey time,kilometres remaining until the tank is empty and the exact fuel level in thetank. The built-in digital voltmeter enables you to check the state of thebattery and how it is recharging. You will also know the outdoor airtemperature (measured close to the road surface). Automatic signalling canbe activated as an option which will prompt you to monitor the externaltemperature more frequently when it drops close to freezing.

The TC-6 is equipped with an audio indicator, illuminated display and anindependent memory preserving all data. In spite of the volume of data thecomputer provides, operation is very easy and well arranged thanks to thesophisticated control system.

Even though the TRIP COMPUTER TC-6 has been carefully adjusted in thefactory, some constants can be modified in order to achieve maximumaccuracy.

Please read this owners manual carefully prior to use. It will help you tounderstand all its functions and how to use them. Keep this manual in asafe place for further reference.

We wish you many happy kilometres with the TRIP COMPUTER TC-6!

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS 2

Control button

Main functionsControlling the TRIP COMPUTER is simple despite the volume of data itprovides. All the functions are controlled by a single button located below thedisplay. All six main functions are called up in rotation by repeated pressingof the button. The control button is divided into two (left & right-hand) sides.By pressing the right-hand side you can switch forward one function whilethe left-hand side serves to switch one function back.

Second-level functionsOther TRIP COMPUTER functions are designed as second-level functionswhich can be called up by pressing and holding down the control button forat least two seconds, regardless of the part of the button pressed. Thesecond-level functions are used very rarely. The computer is normallycontrolled by main functions during standard operation.

Audio indicator

The pressing of each button is accompanied by a short beep, unless theaudio indicator is switched off. Another beep is generated when the buttonis pressed and held down for 2 seconds indicating switching over to asecond level function.

Last function memory

When the cars ignition is switched on, the computer displays the function

which was used last before the ignition was switched off at the end of theprevious journey. Function changes made with the ignition off are not storedin the memory.

Displayed data

Current fuel consumption

Displaying the current fuel consumption works in two modes, depending onthe current speed. The current consumption in litres per hour (l/h) isdisplayed at speeds of up to 32 km/h and in litres per 100 kilometres(l/100km) at speeds over 32 km/h. The value is displayed with an accuracyof one decimal place at the rate of 0.0 - 70.0 l/h or l/100km.

NOTE:The consumption of an idling engine is approximately 0.8 l/h. Theconsumption of a running car can vary within a wide range: from 0.0l/100km while running downhill and not in gear to 50 l/100km during heavyacceleration while fully loaded.


6/24


CURRENT CONSUMPTIONSPEED < 32 km/h SPEED 32 km/h

Total consumption (TC-6)

The total consumption can be displayed by pressing and holding down thecontrol button in the CURRENT CONSUMPTION function mode. The totalconsumption accumulates from the last resetting. The range of valuesdisplayed is 0.0 - 199.9 litres with an accuracy of 0.1 litre. Exceeding the toplimit value resets the counter and the computer starts counting again fromzero. This information is useful for example for checking the accuracy of fuelconsumption measurement and the subsequent calculation of possiblecorrections during computer adjustment (see chapter SETUP - Flow meter

correction). You can reset the function by pressing and holding down thecontrol button with TOTAL CONSUMPTION displayed. The AVERAGECONSUMPTION function is also reset.

TOTAL CONSUMPTION Units: litres

Total consumption (TC-6P)

The total consumption can be displayed by pressing and holding down thecontrol button in the CURRENT CONSUMPTION function mode. The total

consumption accumulates from the day of the computers manufacture and


7/24


cannot be reset. The range of values displayed is 0.0 - 68000.0 litres with anaccuracy of 0.1 litre. Exceeding the top limit value resets the counter andthe computer starts counting again from zero. This information is useful for

example for checking the accuracy of fuel consumption measurement andthe subsequent calculation of possible corrections during computeradjustment (see chapter SETUP - Flow meter correction).

Displaying this value is done in two phases: the first phase displays the litresfor 6 seconds and the second phase displays hundreds of litres for 2seconds. Both phases alternate.

TOTAL CONSUMPTION (example 2685.3 litres)

Phase 1 Units: litres Phase 2 Units: 100 litres

Average consumption

The average consumption is calculated continuously from the last resetting.If you do not reset the computer manually it resets automatically after driving16 000 km. At the same time the TRIP COMPUTER switches into the modedisplaying average consumption. Manual resetting is done by the means ofpressing and holding down the control button with the AVERAGE

CONSUMPTION displayed. The average consumption starts to becalculated after driving 250 metres.

The average consumption is displayed with an accuracy of 1 decimal place.The displayed value can be changed to two decimal places (see chapterSETUP - Displaying average consumption) which does not mean anychange in the accuracy but can be found useful while monitoringconsumption changes during a long trip.

AVERAGE CONSUMPTION Units: litres/100km


8/24


NOTE:At the moment of resetting average consumption, the selected engine typeis displayed for a short time. This enables you to verify whether the propertype of the engine has been selected (see chapter SETUP - Selecting theengine type).

Average speed

The average speed is calculated from the journey length and the time forwhich the ignition has been on. The calculation is carried out continuouslyfrom the moment of resetting. If you do not reset this function manually, thecomputer resets it when 16 000 km have been driven. At the same time theTRIP COMPUTER switches to the average speed display mode. Theaverage speed is displayed with a resolution of one decimal place.

AVERAGE SPEED Units: km/h

You can reset the function by pressing and holding down the control buttonwith AVERAGE SPEED displayed.

Kilometres remaining


9/24


This number tells you how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in yourtank. The number is calculated from the fuel level and the average fuel

consumption over the last 50 kilometres. When fuel level drops below 8litres and the fuel level indicator stops working properly, the amount of fuel inthe tank is calculated according to consumption actually measured.

Once the tank is refilled, the new value is displayed after 30 seconds. Thisdelay can be longer in some specific cases (if you add a small amount offuel, for example).

KILOMETRES REMAINING Units: km

If the number of kilometres remaining falls down below 50 kilometres, a

double beep will sound and kilometres remaining will be displayed. Thepump will be blinking. Press the control button to stop blinking and restorethe previously selected function. This warning is repeated every time youstart the engine running with less than 50 kilometres remaining.

NOTE:The displayed value of kilometres remaining can be changed by adjustingdriving style. For example, if you slow down considerably, the number ofkilometres remaining can even increase.

Fuel level

This piece of information can be displayed by pressing and holding down thecontrol button with KILOMETRES REMAINING displayed. This value issimilar to the one shown by the standard analogue fuel meter but itsaccuracy is one decilitre in the whole range of the tanks capacity.


10/24


The information for filling the tank given in the KILOMETRES REMAININGsection is also valid here.

FUEL LEVEL Units: litres

NOTE:The computer shows E instead of the fuel level when first installed in thecar. The proper value appears after 30 seconds.

Journey time

The TRIP COMPUTER monitors the whole time of uninterrupted driving and

signals the need for a safety break. It displays the time during which theignition has been continuously on. Breaks shorter than 10 minutes areignored.

JOURNEY TIME Displayed as: HH.MM where HH = hoursMM = minutes

The driver is notified of the need to take a break after 2 hours of continuousdriving. The journey time is displayed with the car symbol blinking. Press thecontrol button to stop blinking and restore the previously selected function.This warning repeats after each subsequent two hours driven until you takea break longer than 10 minutes.


11/24


Outdoor temperature

The outdoor temperature in the area close to the road surface is detected by

a sensor located in the left side of the front bumper. The temperature isdisplayed in C with an accuracy of 0.5C.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE Units: C

NOTE:If the car is standing with warmed-up engine, the display of increasingoutdoor temperature is blocked.

Dashboard voltage

The digital voltmeter can be selected by pressing and holding down thecontrol button with the outdoor temperature displayed. The voltmetermeasures the voltage of the cars electrical network at terminal No. 15 fromwhich the computer is powered. The displayed value is in Volts with anaccuracy of 0.1 V.

DASHBOARD VOLTAGE Units: Volts


12/24


NOTE:If the engine is running, the dashboard voltage should remain between13.2 and 14.2 Volts. The exact value depends on the engine speed, state

of the accumulator and the total consumption of all electrical devicesswitched on. If the voltage drops below 13 Volts the accumulator is notcharged sufficiently. If the voltage exceeds 14.5 Volts the accumulator isbeing overcharged.

The voltage of the accumulator itself, which can be read while the engineis off, depends on the charge. After several hours of the engine being off,this voltage stabilises between approximately 12.0 V (accumulator almostempty) and 12.6 V (accumulator fully charged).

The voltage should not drop below 8 V even after long-term running of theengine.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE Signalling

The OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE signalling can be switched on at the timeof installation (see chapter SETUP - OUTDOOR TEMPERATURESignalling). This function activates whenever the outdoor temperature dropsbelow +3C. Its purpose is to notify you of the ne ed to watch the outdoortemperature. Two short beeps are generated and a warning triangledisplayed. If the temperature drops below +3C and the audio indicator isoff, a blinking triangle and a thermometer are displayed. Press the controlbutton to make the display stop blinking. The warning triangle staysdisplayed.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SIGNALLING


13/24


WARNING:Icing can occur on the road even with a displayed temperature higher than0C, due to a different road surface temperature!

Audio Signalling

Each pressing of the control button is accompanied by a short beep. Whenyou press and hold the button down, this signal confirms switching to asecond-level function.

Two short beeps indicate a drop in outdoor temperature below +3C. If thetemperature was lower than +3C before you started the car, two shortbeeps are generated as soon as you switch the ignition on.

Two short beeps indicate a drop in kilometres remaining below 50 km.

Switching off the audio signalling

All the audio signalling can be switched off by pressing and holding down thecontrol button with the JOURNEY TIME displayed. This function works as atoggle between on and off, i.e. you can activate the function the same way.

Engine type selection

The engine type and a blinking car symbol is displayed upon entering theSETUP mode. The table that follows specifies the engine type:

Set the desired engine type by pressing the control button.

ENGINE TYPE SELECTION

NOTE:The set up engine type can be verified also in the normal mode in theAVERAGE CONSUMPTION function. When you reset the averageconsumption, the display briefly shows the currently set up engine type.

NOTE:The changes in the setup take effect only after switching the ignition offand on again.The set up engine type must correspond with the information on the label

of the flow meter sensor.


17/24

SETUP 15

Flow meter correction

The required correction can be achieved using the TOTAL CONSUMPTION

function. Fill the tank up and record or reset (TC-6 only) the TRIPCOMPUTER reading of the total consumption. At the next filling, fill the tankup again and determine the percentage difference between the amount ofthe purchased fuel and the value of the total consumption registered by theTRIP COMPUTER since the last tank filling up.

There are two possibilities:

1. If the total consumption registered by the TRIP COMPUTER since the

last tank filling up is higher than the amount of the purchased fuel,reduce the original flow meter correction value by the discoveredpercentage difference.

2. If the total consumption registered by the TRIP COMPUTER since thelast tank filling up is lower than the amount of the purchased fuel,increase the original flow meter correction value by the discoveredpercentage difference.

The flow meter correction can be done by the control button in steps of 1%within the range from -8% to +7%.

FLOW METER CORRECTION Units: %

NOTE:It is generally true for correcting the flow meter that the more fuel you usefor the correction, the more accurate the result is. Considering thepossible inaccuracy of filling up the tank, it is recommended to calculatethe correction twice and only then to set up the value.

NOTE:The keyed-in changes take effect only after switching the ignition off and

on again.


18/24

SETUP 16

Fuel level indicator correction

Correction of the FUEL LEVEL enables you to increase its accuracy,especially in the range of readings close to zero.

Correcting the fuel level indicator

The fuel level indicator cannot be corrected by using up all the fuel in thetank. The car producer does not allow this, due to the danger of damage tothe catalytic converter which can occur as a result of irregular fuel supply tothe engine. Check the FUEL LEVEL reading at the moment when the yellowsignal light for lack of fuel on your dashboard switches on permanently whileyou are driving on a level road at a constant speed. The FUEL LEVELreading should be between 5.0 and 6.0 litres.

There are two possibilities:

1. If the FUEL LEVEL is higher than 6.0, reduce the original fuel levelindicator correction value by the discovered difference.

2. If the FUEL LEVEL is lower than 5.0, increase the original fuel levelindicator correction value by the discovered difference.

The fuel level indicator correction can be adjusted by the control button in0.5 litre steps in the range from -4.0 l to +3.5 l.

FUEL METER CORRECTION Units: litres

NOTE:The keyed-in change will take effect only after filling with at least 5 litresof fuel.

SETUP 17

Outdoor thermometer correction

The outdoor thermometer correction value has been set up in the factoryand should be changed only in special cases such as when the sensor isreplaced.

The correction can be changed by the control button in steps of 0.5C in therange -4.0C to +3.5C.

OUTDOOR THERMOMETER CORRECTION Units: C

Displaying the average consumption

If you want to monitor the average consumption during a long journey, it isadvantageous to display the value to two decimal places. The averageconsumption display mode can be changed via the control button.

DISPLAYING AVERAGE CONSUMPTION1 decimal place 2 decimal places

The two-decimal-place display takes effect only when at least 4 km havebeen driven following resetting of the average consumption.

NOTE:

The two-decimal-place display does not reflect the accuracy inmeasuring average consumption.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE Signalling

The OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE signalling can be switched on by pressingthe right-hand side of the control button. This function activates when thetemperature drops below +3C and notifies you of th e need to monitor the

external temperature more closely. Signalling can be switched off bypressing the left-hand side of the control button. The signalling state isdisplayed by an on or off message.
