Talking Newbie doesn't know how to read the LCD display! lol

hi guys i just recently purchased my 1995 850 Turbo last week but my car didn't come with the owners manual and I'm wondering what each selection on the LCD display mean. I've searched everywhere on the web and all I could find are about the LCD backlight going out (mine's also out lol). All I know is the outside temp and my current MPG according on how much I'm stepping on the gas thanks in advance!

Does your car have the "INFO" switch located on the dash, next to the sunroof and defrost switches? If I remember correctly, there's Average Speed, Average Fuel Economy, Instant Fuel Economy, Outside Temp, Trip Meter, and Miles Until Empty as the INFO **** is rotated.

Find owner's manuals here:
Volvo Owner's Manuals

Settings of trip computer, left to right:

Average speed
Current fuel consumption
Average fuel consumption
Temperature (outside, near the road)
Trip odometer
Driving distance on current fuel reserve (approx. miles to empty)

If you have less than 2 gallons in the tank and the low fuel light comes on, the trip computer will automatically go to the "miles to empty" display.
