Each trip meter works independently,
so you can keep track of two
dif f erent distances.
This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it. This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
of f the ignition.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the select/reset
knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays and the outside temperature
display (except LX, LX-VP models)
by pressing the select/reset knob
repeatedly. This 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.
