5Odometer and tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance traveled
by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance traveled since
they were last reset. The tripmeters can be used to
record the distance traveled on a single trip, or to
estimate the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of gas, etc. The service tripmeter shows
the distance traveled since it was reset at the last
maintenance. Push the “SELECT” button to switch between the
odometer “ODO”, the tripmeters “TRIP A” and
“TRIP B”, and the service tripmeter “ ” in the
following order:
ODO →
TRIP A → TRIP B → → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, set the display to the tripme-
ter you want to reset, then push the “RESET” but-
ton for 2 seconds.
