■Odometer
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been
driven.
■Tr i p m e t e r
The trip meter can record the total distance of two trips. One is
recorded in trip meter A, and the other is recorded in trip meter B.
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 filled.
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 dist ance the vehicle is driven until
the meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by depressing and hold-
ing the selector for one second or more. Use this meter to measure
trip distances and to compute fuel consumption.
■ Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector
When the ignition is switched to ACC or off, the odometer or trip meters can-
not be displayed, however, pressing the selector can inadvertently switch the
trip meters or reset them during an approximate ten-minute period in the fol-
lowing cases:
● After the ignition is switched to off from ON.
● After the driver’s door is opened.
■ Trip meter
●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 P. 199.
● Only the trip meters record tenths of miles (kilometers).
● The trip record will be erased when:
• The power supply is interrupted (blown fuse or the battery is discon-
nected).
• The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 mile (km).
