The multi-functional indicator is equi pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field page 19, fig. 18 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the display.
A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance memory
(memory 2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button fig. 19 on the windscreen
wiper lever or with the help of the button on the multifunction steering wheel*
fig. 19 .
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip 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. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other hand, if the trip
is interrupted for more than 2 hours .
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minut es driving or 1.999 kilometres driven and
on vehicles which are fitted wi th information display* up to a total of 99 hours and 59
minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of
these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after a
period of interr uption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
