ªODO/TRIPº knob
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters.
To change the mode indication, push the ªODO/TRIPº
knob briefly. Each time you push the knob, the mode
changes in order from the odometer to trip meter A to
trip meter B, then back to the odometer, etc.

reading, push the knob and hold it. The same applies
for the B trip meter.
