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

The distances are calculated by processing the wheel speed signals. They are sent in the form of a message from the engine compartment CAN from the ESP control (N47-5) to the instrument cluster (A1). The mileage count occurs in parallel with the count for the odometer function in the instrument cluster.

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