“Trip B”.
For instance, “Trip A” can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
“Trip B” can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
Use this meter to measure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.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.
NOTE Only the trip meters record
tenths of kilometers (miles).
Trip meter reset
The trip meter will be erased when the
power supply is interrupted (blown fuse
or the battery is disconnected) or when
the vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

sound will be heard when the knob has
been rotated to the maximum dim
position;
the brightness increasesby
rotating the knob to the right.

are turned on. When the illumination
dimmer is canceled, the screen in the
center display switches to constant
display of the daytime screen.
