Average speed, function - GF54.50-P-2009R

MODELS 203 up to 30.6.02, 208 as of 1.8.99, 210 as of 1.7.99, 215, 220 with CODE (494a) USA version 

The trip computer allows the average vehicle speed to be displayed:

Figure 1 

The average speed is displayed in miles per hour (picture 1) or kilometers per hour (picture 2)

To calculate the average speed, the ratio is formed from the distance traveled and the travel time since the last time the short-distance memory or long-distance memory was reset.

Average speed "SINCE START" (short-distance memory), function 

Average speed "SINCE RESET" (long-distance memory), function 

The following information is required:

IMPORTANT It is completely normal for the "SINCE START" display (short-distance memory) and "SINCE RESET" display (long-distance memory) to show different values since the two displays are based on different sets of data. The "since start" display (short-distance memory) reacts much more sensitively to the current driving situation than the "since reset" display (long-distance memory). If initial values are defective the following appears in the display field: "- - -".
