The "Since start" or "Since reset" display screen for the average speed can be activated via the system selection button (S110s3) and scroll forward/back button (S110s1) of the multifunction steering wheel.

The following information is required:

Travel time: This is calculated internally in the instrument cluster (A1).
Travel distance: This is determined from the four wheel

speeds. The wheel speeds are sent as engine compartment CAN messages from the ESP control unit (N47-5) to the instrument cluster.

It is quite 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).
