Trip/Odometer Menu Items
TRIP/ODO (Trip Odometer): Press this button to scroll
through the following menu items:
Odometer
Press the trip/odometer button until the odometer
displays. This mode shows the distance the vehicle
has been driven in either miles or kilometers.
Trip A and Trip B
Press the trip/odometer button until A or B displays.
This mode shows the current distance traveled in
either miles or kilometers since the last reset for each
trip odometer. Both trip odometers can be used at
the same time.
The display will show the odometer on the top line
and the trip odometer information, either A or B,
on the bottom line.
Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately
by briefly pressing the set/reset button on vehicles
with the uplevel DIC or by briefly pressing and holding
the trip odometer button on vehicles with the base
level DIC while the desired trip odometer is displayed.
3-50
There is also a retroactive trip odometer function that
performs the following for each trip odometer:
•
If the vehicle's speed has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h)
during the current ignition cycle, this function will
set the trip odometer to the distance driven
during the current ignition cycle.
•
If the vehicle's speed has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h), this function will set the trip odometer
to the distance driven during the previous ignition
cycle plus the distance driven during the current
ignition cycle.
Press and hold the set/reset button on vehicles with
the uplevel DIC or the trip/odometer button on vehicles
with the base level DIC for three seconds, then
release the button. The retroactive trip odometer value
will be set into the currently displayed trip odometer.
Time Elapsed (Uplevel Only)
Press the trip/odometer button until TIME ELAPSED :00
displays. This mode is like a stopwatch, in that you can
clock the time it takes to get from one point to another.
Each of the fields for the hours, minutes, and seconds
are two numeric digits.
Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the
set/reset button on vehicles with the uplevel DIC to start
the timing feature. Press the set/reset button again to
stop it. If you will be starting and stopping your vehicle,
