ML 55 AMG (163.174) V8-5.5L (113.981) (2001)
The travel time runs from the starter switch (S2) in position "1" (Terminal 15R).
The travel time continues running in the background even if the trip computer is in another operating mode, e.g. "momentary fuel consumption".
The travel time can be stopped by briefly pressing (<2 seconds) the reset button. Pressing the reset button again (<2 seconds) allows the display to
continue running. (At the same time the trip computer must be in travel time operating mode).
The travel time stops when the starter switch is in position "0". The value displayed last is retained in the memory. If starter switch (S2) is turned back to
position "1", the travel time continues to run starting from the stored value.
There is no automatic reset.
Reset
If the display is set to 00:00 (Reset), the reset button should be held down for 2 seconds
Then press the reset button again to start a new interval. (Spalte 2)
Low voltage
After a low voltage, e.g. after the battery has been disconnected, the display reads 00:00.
Range, Function
The estimated range is displayed in either miles (top figure) or in kilometers (bottom figure).
The current range is calculated from the quantity of fuel currently available and the average fuel consumption.
The trip computer control module (TRIP, N41) requires the following information to calculate the current range:
The average fuel consumption (via engine compartment CAN from the injection system control module (N3),
The 4 wheel speeds from the traction system control module (N47) via engine compartment CAN,
The quantity of fuel in the fuel tank from the instrument cluster (A1) via the engine compartment CAN.
NOTE: As a result of measuring tolerances and limited resolution when determining the quantity of fuel in the tank, the value displayed for the
range may fluctuate by up to approx. 5 miles (approx. 10 kilometers).
If the fuel level in the tank has fallen into the reserve range, the current fuel consumption is taken into account to a greater extent when calculating the
