> To reset the values in the respective memory to
zero, press and hold the left thumbwheel on
the multifunction steering wheel for one sec-
ond. Or
> On the multifunction steering wheel, select:
the right control button > Reset values*.
The following displays are available, depending

— Average consumption > page 22
— Short-term memory overview
— Long-term memory overview
— Energy consumers > page 22
— Driver assistance > page 115
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.

Average consumption
The current consumption can be shown using a
bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar is green, your vehicle is saving energy (for ex-
ample, using recuperation).
Energy consumers*
The Energy consumers view lists other equip-
ment that is currently affecting fuel consump-
tion. The display shows up to three equipment
items. The equipment using the most power is
listed first. If more than three items using power
are switched on, the equipment that is currently
using the most power is displayed. A chart also
shows you the current total of all other consum-
ers.

The efficiency program can help you to use less
fuel. It evaluates driving information in reference
to fuel consumption and shows other equipment
influencing consumption. Economy tips provide
advice for efficient driving.
The efficiency program receives distance and con-
sumption data from the short-term memory. If
the data in the efficiency program is deleted, the
values in the short-term memory are also reset.
The following additional displays may be availa-
ble in the efficiency program, depending on vehi-
cle equipment:
— Other equipment: other equipment that is cur-
rently affecting fuel consumption is listed in
the efficiency program. The display shows up to
three other equipment items. The equipment
using the most power is listed first. If more
than three items using power are switched on,
the equipment that is currently using the most
power is displayed. A chart also shows you the
current total of all other consumers.
— Economy tips: in certain situations, economy
tips appear automatically for a short time in
the efficiency program. If you follow these
economy tips, you can reduce your vehicle's fuel
consumption. To turn an economy message off
immediately after it appears, press any button
on the multifunction steering wheel.
