To reset the trip odometer(s) back to zero miles or
kilometers, access the trip you want to reset and press
the set/reset button.
The trip odometer has a feature called the retro-active
reset. This can be used to set the trip odometer to the
number of miles or kilometers driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be used if you forget to reset
your trip odometer at the beginning of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature, press and hold the
set/reset button for at least three seconds. The trip
odometer will display the number of miles or kilometers
driven since the ignition was last turned on and you
began driving. Once you begin driving, the trip odometer
will accumulate mileage. For example, if you have
driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started the vehicle,
and then activate the reto-active reset feature, the
display will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started
your vehicle. As you drive, the display will then increase
to 5.1 miles (8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated after the
vehicle is started, but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number of miles or kilometers
that were driven during the last ignition cycle.
