Distance display function:

The trip computer allows the distance traveled to be displayed

Depending on the unit setting (kilometers/miles) and the national variant coding of the instrument cluster (A1) the distance is displayed in:

Distance "SINCE START" (short-distance memory), function 

Distance "SINCE RESET" (long-distance memory), function (text box (1) displays "SINCE RESET")

The distance is displayed in kilometers or in miles in the range from 0 to 65, 535 km or 0 to 40, 959 miles with a resolution of one kilometer or one mile.

After a reset the first value change occurs after one kilometer or one mile.

IMPORTANT The distance is calculated by processing the signals from the four wheel speed sensors. The instrument cluster (A1) receives this data as a CAN message from the SBC control unit (A7/3n1) and the ESP, SPS [PML] and BAS control unit (N47-5).

When the travel time or distance information exceeds the maximum available display (65, 535 km (40, 959 miles) or 99:59 hours), the system automatically resets the travel time and distance. This preserves the relationship between travel time and distance.
