If you drive in Sport mode the mileage will show less and in Eco mode will show more. Is that it?

Could be switching on HVAC.

Hello and welcome. The 160 will be in normal mode without your heating or blower on. If you turn these on you usually lose about 20miles or so. Also if you flick through normal sport and eco modes you’ll see the range change. Put some miles on your car and you’ll get more used to it. Enjoy!

If you reset the Accumulated trip read-out, the GOM takes a few minutes/miles to "calculate" what mileage you are going to get. It is only a prediction, it cannot guess whether you are motorway driving or urban routes. As said, the Eco/Normal/Sports mode will change the predicted range immediately..
