Total Mileage Recorder

Total odometer reading

Display of the total distance covered is a component part of the LC display. The current mileage is indicated on the display as of terminal R "ON". At "Terminal R OFF" the mileage can be displayed by pressing the instrument cluster button for approx. 25 seconds after the button has been released. The unit of distance (km/miles) dependent on the coded country-specific version is displayed next to the trip odometer. The total distance is made available in the form of a telegram on the instrument bus (I-bus) and body bus (K-bus).

The total distance is stored in the instrument cluster electronics (IKE) and in the light check module (LCM). "999999" is displayed as the total distance if the instrument cluster electronics (IKE) cannot read the total distance and it cannot be determined by way of the light check module (LCM).
