“1” - Single-trip memory
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.
“2” - Long-term memory
The memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to a total
of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1 999 kilometres driven ( 
), and up to a total of
99 hours and 59 minutes or 9 999 kilometres driven ( ).
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
