Travel time "Since start" (short-distance memory), function






Time elapsed since start

The trip computer (TRIP) allows the travel time to be displayed. The function is similar to that of a stopwatch.
The display appears from position 2 (circuit 15 ON) of the transmitter key (A8/1) depending on the setting (kilometers/miles) and national version coding of the instrument cluster (A1).
After activating the "Trip Computer" menu using the system selection button (S110s3), the driver presses the scroll forward/back button (S110s1) of the multifunction steering wheel to display the travel time "since start" on the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).

Since the time is only counted when "circuit 15 is ON", the instrument cluster (A1) requires information about the position of the transmitter key (A8/1) in the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73).The EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) passes this information on the class B (interior) controller area network bus (CAN-B) and it is received by the instrument cluster (A1). The travel time is calculated in the instrument cluster (A1).
If the display of travel time or travel distance exceeds the maximum display value, the travel time and travel distance are reset automatically. This preserves the relationship between travel time and mileage.
