When Driving

Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

~1min read

The odometer is constantly displayed on the screen when the ignition is switched ON, and the TRIP A or TRIP B screen can be displayed by operating the INFO switch.


Odometer

The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.

Trip meter

The driving distance for a specified interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A, TRIP B) of interval distance and the average fuel economy for each can be measured.

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, TRIP A will be displayed. When trip meter B is selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter and average fuel economy can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 second or more while in each mode.

NOTE

  • Only the trip meters record tenths of kilometers (miles).
  • The trip record will be erased when:
    • The power supply is interrupted (blown fuse or the battery is disconnected).
    • The vehicle is driven over 1999 km (mile).
