Vehicle functions
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is turned on until
it is turned off. If you continue driving within two
hours after turning off the ignition, the new val-
ues will be included when calculating the current
trip information.
Overview
The trip computer is displayed in the first tab of
the driver information system. Additional vehicle
functions can be accessed depending on the vehi-
cle equipment.

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.
Press the button on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
