Abstract:
1. A system for managing information concerning the fuel consumption of the engine of a motor vehicle fitted with purification means for purifying its exhaust gases, operation of the engine being controlled by a controller adapted to determine a first fuel quantity for injection into the engine for normal operation, and a second fuel quantity for injection into the engine in order to trigger a stage of regenerating the purification means, and connected by a data transmission network to means for managing fuel consumption information, said means comprising display means for displaying instantaneous fuel consumption information and calculation means for calculating mean consumption and vehicle range, wherein the controller is associated with emitter means for acting during a stage of regenerating the purification means to emit first and second determined fuel quantities in succession over the network and destined for corresponding receiver means of the management means, so as to deliver the first fuel quantity to the display means and the second fuel quantity to the calculation means.
