the following menu items:
Odometer
Press

display shows the distance the vehicle has
been driven in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi).
Trip Odometers
Press

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
Vwhile 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
kilometers (miles) 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.

trip odometer will display the number of
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) 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 8 km (5 miles) before it is started
again, and then the retro-active reset feature
is activated, the display will show 8 km
(5 miles). As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 8.1 km
(5.1 miles), 8.2 km (5.2 miles), 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 kilometers (km) or miles (mi) that
were driven during the last ignition cycle.
