GF54.50-P-2010QA Reset, Function
- with CODE (245) Trip computer

Resetting the long distance memory "as of reset":
^ Circuit 15 ON
^ Using the system selection buttons (S110s3) and scrolling forwards and backwards buttons (S110s1) of the multifunction steering wheel, select the "as of reset" display screen.
^ Keep the instrument illumination dimmer and reset button (A1r1) pressed down for one second.
^ The display is reset.

Manual resetting of short distance memory "as of starting":
^ Circuit 15 ON
^ Using the system selection buttons (S110s3) and scrolling forwards and back buttons (S110s1) of the multifunction steering wheel, select the "as of starting" display screen (short distance memory).
^ Keep the instrument illumination dimmer and reset button (A1r1) pressed down for one second.
^ The display is reset.

Automatically resetting the short-distance memory ("SINCE START")
As the "as of starting" display (short distance memory) is perceived as the data of one driving cycle, the contents of the "as of starting" display (short distance memory) are normally reset automatically

If the electronic ignition switch control unit (N73) is in position "circuit 15C" all the values of the short distance memory are reset after approx. 4 hours. If during this time "circuit 15C" is interrupted by "circuit 15R ON" or "circuit 15 ON", the erasing rate window begins again (4 hours).

Transferring data from preceding driving cycles into shortdistance memory
In many cases it can be meaningful to take over the data from the previous driving cycles into the short distance memory because, for example, the data for filling the tank during a holiday trip is also to be recorded in the event of any interruption to the trip. The data for the entire trip can then be stored in the long-distance memory ("Since reset").

The procedure for this is as follows:
^ Using the system selection button (S110s3) and the scrolling forwards and backwards button (S110s1) of the multifunction steering wheel, select the "as of starting" display screen (short distance memory).
^ Start engine
^ The "as of starting" display (short distance memory) flashes for up to 2 kilometers or miles or 2 minutes after starting the engine.
^ When the display is flashing operate the instrument illumination dimmer and reset button (A1r1) for one second.

The values of the previous driving cycle are incorporated in the long distance memory.

If the display of travel time or travel distance exceeds the maximum display value (99:59 h, 40.959 miles or 65.535 km), the travel time and travel distance of the respective memory is automatically reset. This preserves the relationship between travel time and mileage.

After resetting it can take up to 3 miles or 2 minutes until the trip computer has sufficient data in order to display correct consumption figures. During this time and depending on the adjustment (miles/kilometers) and coding of the national version of the instrument cluster (A1) 5.8 MPG, 40 l/100 km or 2.5 km/l are displayed.
