Reset, Function



Reset, Function







The reset knob (A1r1) in the instrument cluster (A1) can be used to reset the contents of the transient and extended memories:
The display reflects the distance unit setting (miles/kilometers) as well as the national version code programmed into the instrument cluster (A1) as shown in the illustrations.

Resetting the long-distance memory ("SINCE RESET")
- Terminal 15 ON
- Select the display "FROM RESET" with system selection button (S110s3) and scroll forward/back pushbutton (s110s1) on the multifunction steering wheel
- Hold down the reset button for one second
- The display is reset (see illustrations, "SINCE RESET") appears in the text box.

NOTE: The display mask for "SINCE START" (transient memory) resets in the same way.

Manually resetting the short-distance memory ("SINCE START")
- Terminal 15 ON
- Select the display "FROM START" (short trip memory) with system select/voice control pushbutton (S110s3) and scroll forward/back pushbutton (S110s1) on the multifunction steering wheel
- Hold down the reset button for one second
- The display is reset

Automatically resetting the short-distance memory ("SINCE START")
As the "SINCE START" display (transient memory) is intended for driving cycle data, the contents of the "SINCE START" display (transient memory) will usually reset automatically whenever the instrument cluster remains inactive for a period of four hours.

NOTE: After resetting there is not sufficient data material for correct calculation of the consumption.

As a temporary solution in this period immediately following resets, a calculated figure based on the actual, individual fuel consumption rate of the vehicle (depending on engine) is shown; this display varies according to the distance unit setting (miles/kilometers) and the country code entered in the instrument cluster (A1).
This figure is limited.
The display limit lies at 40 l/100 km. Displays using miles per gallon or kilometers per litre revert to zero.
