Display of the total distance covered is a component part of the LC display. The current mileage is indicated on the display as of terminal R "ON". At "Terminal R OFF" the mileage can be displayed by pressing the instrument cluster button for approx. 25 seconds after the button has been released. The unit of distance (km/miles) dependent on the coded country-specific version is displayed next to the trip odometer. The total distance is made available in the form of a telegram on the instrument bus (I-bus ) and body bus (K-bus ).
The total distance is stored in the instrument cluster electronics (IKE ) and in the light check module (LCM ). "999999" is displayed as the total distance if the instrument cluster electronics (IKE ) cannot read the total distance and it cannot be determined by way of the light check module (LCM ).
