There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two dif f erent distances.
To reset a trip meter, display it and
then press and hold the Select/Reset
knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.
This display shows the current, or
instantaneous fuel mileage you are
getting.When a trip meter is displayed, the
average fuel mileage you have been
getting during that trip is shown in
the Fuel Mileage display. This
number is updated once per ten
seconds.
When you reset a trip meter, the
average fuel mileage for that trip
meter also resets.
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models.
It is illegal under U.S. f ederal law and
Canadian provincial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated.
It shows the number of miles per
hour and mpg (U.S.) or kilometers
per hour and l/100 km (Canada).
You can turn off this display at any
time. See page .
The odometer and the trip meters
use the same display. Switch these
displays by pressing the Select/
Reset knob. The trip meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
