IV - MILEOMETER FUNCTION

A - GENERAL
Role: mileometer
The mileometer consists of two digital displays:
• the main mileometer,
• the tripometer.
B - LAYOUT
Refer to the speedometer layout.
C - OPERATING MODE
The BSI calculates the total distance travelled since the vehicle was first used
from a signal supplied by the speed sensor. It then encodes the value in a
VAN frame and sends it to the control panel.
The main mileometer displays the total distance travelled. The control panel
calculates the distance travelled by the vehicle since the last time the
tripometer was reset and displays this on the tripometer.
Note: The tripometer is reset when the ignition is on by pressing the button
at the bottom left of the control panel (RESET).
D - SAVING THE DISTANCE TRAVELLED
The distance travelled is memorised in the control panel.
When the ignition is switched on, the BSI reads the distance memorised in the
control panel and compares it with its own stored mileage. The BSI and the
control panel store the largest of the two figures.
IMPORTANT: it is forbidden to perform diagnostics by substituting parts!
