cannot be displayed, however, pressing the

distance of two trips. One is recorded in
trip meter A, and the other is recorded in
trip meter B.

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, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.
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 records the total distance

again reset. Return it to “0.0” by holding
the selector depressed for more than 1
second. Use this meter to meas ure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
