- Short-term memory overview
- Long-term memory overview
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is sw itched on un-
til it is switched off. If you cont inue driv ing with-
in two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculat ing the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory , the long-term
memory is not erased automat ically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluat ing trip informa-
tion you rself .
For some veh icle functions , you can access the
trip informat ion from the temporary memory in
the line

Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be displayed
using a bar ~
fig. 8. The average consumpt ion
(mpg) stored in the short-term memory is also
displayed . When the bar tu rns green, your veh icle
saves fuel by one of the following functions:
- Recuperation : When the vehicle is coasting or
driving downhill, electrical ene rgy can be stor-
ed in the battery. The bar will move toward D .
- Cylinder on demand System*: when the de-
ma nd for power is low and other conditions are
met, the engine automatically de activates fo ur
cylinders. The driver and passengers will not
even notice this. The cylinders switch on again
when more power is needed.
(D Tips
Fue l consumptions (average and current),
range and speed are displayed in metric units
on Canadian models.
