ENGINE IDLE HOUR METER (IF EQUIPPED):
Your vehicle may be equipped with an idle meter to indicate how much
time the vehicle is idling in positionPorN.The meter is incorporated with
the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset button once displays
the trip odometer (miles [kilometers] followed by a “T” for trip odometer);
depressing the odometer-reset button a second time displays the idle meter
(hours followed by an “H” for hours). The idle meter only accumulates
time when the vehicle is in positionPorN.Displayed time is cumulative
for the vehicle.It cannot be reset to zero.Police/Fleet vehicles often
experience long periods of idling, during which engine oil continues to
break down but distance is not accumulated on the odometer.
To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the
idle meter helps determine when an oil change is required. For every
hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 33 miles (53 kilometers) of driving. Using the combination
of the vehicle odometer and idle meter allows the fleet manager to better
determine when the oil needs to be changed
