- Sho rt-term memory overview
- Long-term memo ry overview
The short-term memo ry collects d riving informa-
tion from the time the ignit ion is switched on un-
til it is switched off . If you continue dr iving within
two hours after switching the ignit ion off, the
new values are included when calcu lating the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-te rm memory, the long -term
memory is not erased automat ical ly. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluat ing trip informa-
tion yourself.
For some veh icle functions, you can access the
tr ip informat ion from the tempor ary memory in
the line @ .
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumpt ion can be displayed
using a bar~ fig. 8. The average consumption
(mpg) st ored in the short-term memory is also
d isp layed. When the bar turns green, your veh icle
saves fuel by one of the following functions:
- Recuperation :
When the vehicle is coasting or
driving downh ill, electrical energy can be stored
in the battery. The bar will move toward 0 .
- Cylinder on demand System *:
when the de-
ma nd for power is low and other conditions are
met, the eng ine a utomatically deactivates fo ur
cylinders. The driver and passengers will not
even notice this . The cylinders sw itch on again
when more power is needed.
