Memory

Fig. 21 Multifunction display

The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 21.

The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance memory (memory 2).

Switch memories using button B » Fig. 22 on page 30 on the windscreen wiper stalk.

Single-trip memory (memory 1)

The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically erased.

Total-trip memory (memory 2)

The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1999 km or, for vehicles with a MAXI DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or 9999 km. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.

Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.

Note

All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is disconnected.
