Default Bug of the computer
I had a very strange bug yesterday. This is the second time it happens.

I started the engine, and, normaly the computer show the gas around "14.9 liter/100 km"

But this time, every minutes, the gas consuming was going up and up...

"14.9 liter/100 km"
"23.5 liter/100 km"
"36.2 liter/100 km"
"45.1 liter/100 km"
"64.8 liter/100 km"
"90.3 liter/100 km"
"102.5 liter/100 km"
"125.6 liter/100 km"
"148.6 liter/100 km"

After 10 minutes, I stopped the engine. Now it's okay.

What do you think about that?

Sounds like a sensor glitch. Dealer question probably. Maybe a quick flash at the dealer will fix it.

Mine does this on occasion. If you reset it and hold the button just a touch too long it will start the Great Countdown to Zero.Just cycle the key, it resets and all is Well. I have no intention of having anyone digging and rooting in my electronics for such a minor glitch.
