Pushing the “TRIP” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter mode
“TRIP”. To reset the tripmeter, enter
the “TRIP” mode, and then hold down
the “TRIP” button for at least one
second. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-
mate the distance that can be trave-
led with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.

anymore after the reading has
reached 10 (km/h or MPH).
Switching between the kilometer
mode and the mile mode does
not change or convert the current
odometer/tripmeter reading.

them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
