Help: What is this reading on the dash??

Hi all, this is my first Polo since 1995 and I love it, it's only a base model 1.2 6R but what a lovely car!!

Anyway, just getting used to it and have found something I can't find any reference to in the manual at all, or on here or google :( :(

Basically it's got the basic trip computer and theres just 2 buttons, the left one for getting into it to set the clock, so one press and the hours flash, 2 presses the minutes flash.

However, on the third flash it comes up with a 3 digit number (that's varied between 289 and 293 for the last few days) and what appears to be a circle with a white fill in section, like a cake from above with a slice taken out of it?

Heres a screenshot showing similar on a youtube video though it's showing 490??

Can anyone enlighten me? I thought maybe it was a reading showing how many miles left until reserve or something but it didn't budge for over a hundred miles so pretty sure its not that.

Nice to know :)
I have a question, if anyone can answer
I have noticed when i skim through the trip computer, some figures have a little number 1 next to them.

Now there is a button on the underside of the right stalk which changes those figures and displays a different number but with a little number two next to them.

Any ideas??

well i know on my 9n3 gti, if you go onto your average mpg 1 is for the current trip and 2 is for the average in general before you reset

number 1's are average on your current trip... Resets if the car's not moving for an hour or two.

number 2's are average since you last reset them manually... After refueling, going on a long roadtrip, driving holiday or whatever. :)

When you select one with either the number 1 or 2 and reset that one it will also reset all the others with the same number. :)
