Short-term memory and long-term memory
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 will be included when calculating the
current 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 using
the following methods:
— Recuperation: electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv-
ing downhill. The bar drops down into the neg-
ative part of the scale.
