GF54.50-D-2009H Average Speed, Function

- with CODE (CL4) Multifunction steering wheel with trip computer

Since start







Average speed since start

The trip computer allows the average vehicle speed to be displayed:
The display is active as from position 2 (circuit 15 ON) of the transmitter key when the TRIP menu item is called up.

After the "Trip computer" menu has been activated using the system selection button (S111s3) on the multifunction steering wheel (MFL), the average speed "Since start" is shown on the multifunction display of the instrument cluster (A1) by pressing the scroll forward/back button (S111s1) on the MFL. The trip computer determines the average speed from the distance covered and the trip time.

The travel time is calculated in the instrument cluster and the driven travel distance is determined from the 4 wheel speeds. The signals are placed on the Controller Area Network bus class C (engine compartment) (CAN-C) by the ESP control unit (N30/4) and received by the instrument cluster.

Different values may be displayed in the display screen of the short distance memory and in the display screen of the long distance memory, as both displays access different data records. The short distance memory display basically reacts more sensitively to the current driving situation than the long distance memory display.

If the transmitter key is at position 0 (circuit 15C) or the transmitter key has been removed, all values in the short- distance memory are reset after 4 hours.
