the trip meters or reset them during an
approximate ten-minute period in the
following cases:

For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is ¿ lled.

When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
  (Vehicles with type B audio)  If the fuel economy data is reset
using the fuel economy monitor,
or trip A is reset using the trip
meter when the function which
synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on
