Lap timer
You can use the lap timer in the display Fig. 1 to record and evaluate lap times. The times are recorded in minutes, seconds and tenths of a second. The hour will appear in the display and the tenths of a second will disappear if the session lasts for over 60 minutes.
Individual lap times stop automatically after 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. A new lap will then start automatically.
The lap timer stops after a maximum of 30 laps. You can then evaluate the lap times or start a new session.
Engine oil temperature display
Engine oil temperatures below 60 °C are indicated by the symbol , followed by three dashes "- - -" and the unit (°C).
The engine has reached its operating temperature in normal driving conditions when the oil temperature is between 80 ℃ and 120 ℃. If the engine is running under increased load at high ambient temperatures, the oil temperature may increase above this value. This is no cause for concern, provided that the indicator/warning lamps ►Link or ►Link in the display do not start flashing.
Operating logic
You can use the following to operate the lap timer, depending on the optional equipment in your vehicle:
  • Controls on windscreen wiper lever ►Link, or
  • Control buttons on multi-function steering wheel* ►Link
WARNING!
Please direct your full attention at all times to the road! As the driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and other road users. For this reason, you should only use the lap timer functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
