ODOMETER AND TRIP METER
Vehicles with dynamic laser cruise control
Vehicles without dynamic laser cruise control This
meter displays the odometer and two trip meters. To
change the mode indication, push the “ODO/TRIP” button
briefly. Each time you push the button, the mode changes
in order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B,
then back to the odometer, etc.
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. The twin trip meter records two different
distances independently.
For example, you can use one meter to calculate the fuel
economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip.
To set the A trip meter to zero, display the A meter reading,
push the button and hold it. The same applies for the B trip
meter.
The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical power
source is disconnected.
