earlier in this section.
TRIP A and TRIP B
Press the trip/fuel button until
TRIP A or TRIP B displays.
This display shows the current
distance traveled in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) since the last
reset for each trip odometer. Both
trip odometers can be used at
the same time. Pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will also
display the trip odometers.
Each trip odometer can be reset
to zero separately by pressing the
set/reset button or the trip odometer
reset stem while 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 miles (kilometers)
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.
To use the retro-active reset feature,
press and hold the set/reset button
for at least four seconds. The trip
odometer will display the number
of miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
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 5 miles (8 km)
before it is started again, and then
the retro-active reset feature is
activated, the display will show
5 miles (8 km). As the vehicle
begins moving, the display will
then increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), 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
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) that
were driven during the last ignition
cycle.
RANGE
Press the trip/fuel button until
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle
can be driven without refueling.
The display will show LOW if the
fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based
on an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
may read one number, but if the
vehicle is driven on a freeway, the
number may change even though
the same amount of fuel is in the
fuel tank. This is because different
driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy
than city driving. Fuel range cannot
be reset.
