Trip Computer

 

In some W126 Coupes and Sedans, a very rare trip computer option was offered.

Shown below, the computer display showed fuel consumption, mileage, time from

origin to destination, average speed, top speed, etc.

 

Shown above, the display unit replaced the standard position of the tach

unit and clock.  Therefore, the speedometer had a digital clock display just

underneath the trip odometer.

 

To compensate for the tachometer, the far left combination gauge was

modified to include a tachometer where the standard fuel gauge used to

reside; while the fuel gauge replaced the location of the economy gauge.
