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

As the time is only counted for "circuit 15 ON", the Instrument cluster (A1) needs the information about the status of circuit 15. This information is placed on the interior CAN by the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) and read by the instrument cluster. The time is calculated internally in the instrument cluster.

If the display of travel time to travel distance exceeds the maximum display value (99:59 hours or 40959 miles (65535 km)), then the travel time and the travel distance of the respective memory are reset automatically. This preserves the relationship between travel time and mileage.
