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.
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.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel 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 fuel through
one of the following functions:
— Recuperation: electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv-
ing downhill. The bar will move toward (1.

Lap timer
Lap timer
You can measure and analyze lap times with the
lap timer in the display. The time is measured in
minutes, seconds and 1/10 seconds. With lap
times longer than 60 minutes, the hour is also
shown and the display of 1/10 seconds is re-
moved.
The time measurement on an individual lap ends
after 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. A new
lap starts automatically after that.
The measurement ends after a maximum of 30
laps. You can then evaluate the lap times or start
a new time measurement.
You can control the lap timer using the controls
on the multifunction steering wheel > page 76.

a way that you always maintain complete con-
trol over your vehicle in all traffic situations.
