what is this mileage counter for?

[Azim]

Hi, ive just recently purchased a w211. I have this mileage count in the cluster which i dont know what it is for. Ive looked in the manual and searched online but

I am sure it isnt the trip mileage because i reset it. Hope you can help.

Its your record of your journey, how many miles you have left in your tank of fuel etc.

No its not that because that comes up underneat range but it didnt have any figures in the picture because the car was switched offf

Are you on about the 347.1 miles?

It is the range in miles the car is estimating based on the fuel remaining in your tank and your recent mpg. It will give you the figures when the engine is running as you have discovered. If you press the vol-up button (i think its that one!), you will find 3 screens in the sub-menu you are in, which are the trip counter since reset and the trip counter since the journey started (which includes quite long breaks before resetting) and the range screen you have posted picture of.

It's a mileage trip.

Hold on to the button on the left of the dash for about five seconds and it will reset.

i have done that and thats why it has reset the other mileage counters. if you notice in the trip meter and 'since last reset' it shows the trip mileage as reset but this one remains the same!

Reset it while the radio station is showing on the dash and not the mpg trip.

Didn't the car come with a user manual? It is all explained there.

reset by pressing "OK" button on your wheel when nothing else is showing apart from the mileage counter 347.1 or radio station and it'll become apparent.

Well, I managed to reset it.... its basically another mileage counter .. To reset you must be at a stand still and in the "Range" screen and I felt as if I had to hodl it for longer than 3 seconds

Thanks guys :bannana:
