 Introduction

The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The se-

lected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 21.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Memory

Operation

Multifunction display details

Warning against speeding

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).

Switch memories using button B » Fig. 22 on page 30 on the windscreen

The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched

on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which

you last selected before switching off the ignition.

wiper stalk.

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. If the trip is interrupted for more than

2 hours, the memory is automatically erased.

The multifunction display shown in the segment display » Fig. 21 on page 29

or in the MAXI DOT display depending on your vehicle model » page 33.

On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display » page 33, there is an option not to dis-

play some of the information.

Total-trip memory (memory 2)

WARNING

The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up

to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1999 km or, for vehicles with a MAXI

DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or 9999 km. The memory is deleted

when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.

■

Concentrate fully on your driving at all times. As the driver you are fully

responsible for the operation of your vehicle.

■

Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, there may still be black ice on the

road surface. You should therefore not rely solely on the outside tempera-

ture display for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.

Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-

riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
