The "as of starting" and "as of reset" for the travel time can be activated via the system selection buttons (S110s3) and scrolling forwards and backwards buttons (S110s1) of the multifunction steering wheel.

The mileages are calculated by evaluating the four wheel speed signals.4 They are transmitted as a CAN message via the engine compartment CAN from the ESP and BAS control unit (N47-5) to the instrument cluster (A1). Counting the travel distance takes place in parallel to the counting of the odometer function of the instrument cluster (A1).

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.
