- up to model year 08


Resetting the long-distance memory ("Since reset"):
^ "Tml. 15 ON"
^ Select the "SINCE RESET" display using the system selection button (S110s3) and scroll forward/back button (S110s1) on the multifunction steering wheel.
^ Press and hold the instrument and controls illumination button, dim (A1s5) or instrument and controls illumination button, bright (A1s4) and the trip odometer reset button (A1s3) for one second.
^ The display is reset.

Manual reset of the short-distance memory ("Since start"):
^ "Tml. 15 ON"
^ Use the system selection button and scroll forward/back button to select the "Since start" (short-distance memory) display mask.
^ Press and hold the instrument and controls illumination button, dim or instrument and controls illumination button, bright and the trip odometer reset button for one second.
^ The display is reset.

Automatic reset of short-distance memory ("Since start")
As the "Since start" display (short-distance memory) is intended for one driving cycle's data, the contents of the "Since start" display (short-distance memory) are reset automatically.
If the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) is in the "terminal 15C" position all the short-distance memory data are reset after roughly four hours. If, during this period, "terminal 15C" is interrupted by "terminal 15R ON" or "terminal 15 ON", the delete time window (four hours) is restarted.

Acceptance of data from previous driving cycles into shortdistance memory
In some cases it may be useful to transfer the data from the previous driving cycle into the short-distance memory, e.g. if you wish to record the data for a single tank of fuel during a vacation trip even with several breaks in the journey. The data for the entire trip can then be stored in the long-distance memory ("since reset").

The procedure for this is as follows:
^ Use the multifunction steering wheel's system selection button and scroll forward/back button to select the "Since start" (short-distance memory) display mask.
^ Start the engine.
^ The "Since start" (short-distance memory) display flashes on and off for up to 2 km or miles or for 2 min after starting the engine.
^ With the display flashing on and off, press and hold the instrument and controls illumination button, dim or instrument and controls illumination button, bright and the trip odometer reset button for one second.
^ The values of the previous driving cycle are accepted into the short-distance memory

If display of the travel distance or travel time exceeds the maximum display value (40959 miles (65535 km) or 99:59 hours), then the travel time and mileage of each memory are automatically reset. This preserves the relationship between travel time and mileage.

After resetting it can take up to three kilometers or two minutes until the trip computer has sufficient data in order to display the consumption figures correctly. During this time, depending on the unit setting (kilometers or miles) and coding, the national version of the instrument cluster (A1) is displayed.
