Multi-function display - Display example of the memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 25.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories, 1 and 2. The
selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 9.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig- nition 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 a 1999 km distance or, for vehicles with a
MAXI DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or a 9999 km distance.
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.
