Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip informa-
tion from the time the ignition is turned on until
it is turned off . If the trip is continued within 2
hours from the time the ignition was turned off,
the new data will be included in the calculation of
the cur rent trip information. If the trip is inter-

set automatically .

memory is not reset automatically . This permits
you to eva luate your dr iving data for the enti re
period between manua l resets.
