If your vehicle does not have
DIC buttons, you can use the trip
odometer reset stem to view the
following displays: odometer, trip
odometers, oil life, park assist menu
for vehicles with the Ultrasonic Rear
Parking Assist (URPA) system,
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter programming, units,
and display language.
If your vehicle has DIC buttons,
you can use the trip odometer reset
stem to view the following displays:
odometer and trip odometers.
Trip Odometer Reset Stem
Menu Items
ODOMETER
Press the trip odometer reset
stem until ODOMETER displays.
This display shows the distance
the vehicle has been driven in
either miles (mi) or kilometers (km).
To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “UNITS”
later in this section.TRIP A or TRIP B
Press the trip odometer reset stem
until TRIP A or TRIP B displays.
This display shows the current
distance traveled in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) since the last
reset for each trip odometer. Both
trip odometers can be used at the
same time.
Each trip odometer can be reset
to zero separately by pressing and
holding the trip odometer reset
stem while the desired trip odometer
is displayed.
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
(kilometers) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be
used if the trip odometer is not
reset at the beginning of the trip.To use the retro-active reset feature,
press and hold the trip odometer
reset stem for at least four seconds.
The trip odometer will display
the number of miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) driven since the
ignition was last turned on and
the vehicle was moving. Once the
vehicle begins moving, the trip
odometer will accumulate mileage.
For example, if the vehicle was
driven 5 miles (8 km) before it
is started again, and then the
retro-active reset feature is activated,
the display will show 5 miles (8 km).
As the vehicle begins moving, 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 (mi) or kilometers (km)
that were driven during the last
ignition cycle.
