The 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.

hicle could then start to move – risk of accident! These individuals would
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
