Trip Computer Notes - Pontiac 2006 GTO Owner's Manual

Trip A/B
When the Time to Arrival/Distance to Arrival/Fuel
Remaining set of displays are turned on, using vehicle
personalization, and are showing on the display,
hold the MODE button down for two seconds. Now,
instead of the Time to Arrival set of displays, the
trip computer shows Trip B details.
Press the MODE button to view your displays. You now
have two different sets of trip displays counting, your
original set of trip displays — labelled A while B is turned
on — and a new set of trip displays, labelled B. This
is useful on a long trip, as Trip B can be reset at
the beginning of the journey and then locked away by
pressing the MODE button for two seconds when Trip B
is shown. Time to Arrival/Distance to Arrival/Fuel
Remaining will again be shown on the display, but Trip B
is still counting away in the background and the
original trip display can be used for short distances
during the journey. Trip B can be viewed at any time by
pressing the MODE button for two seconds when
Distance to Arrival is shown.
Trip A/B can also be enabled/disabled in vehicle
personalization. See Vehicle Personalization on
page 2-31 . If the Trip A and B function is selected,
the Average Speed and Average Fuel displays
indicate Trip A.

Trip Computer Notes:

•
If the wrong buttons are accidentally pressed,
causing the display to show a display other
than normal, turn the ignition off and then on again
when the vehicle is stopped.
•
Several warning lights are linked to the trip
computer displays. See Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators on page 3-22 .
•
When the overspeed warning symbol is first shown,
the overspeed trip computer display is automatically
shown for 10 seconds. This is to show what your
pre-selected speed is and allow you to adjust
it if desired. After 10 seconds, the trip computer
returns to its previous display.
•
Some displays change the units of measurement
over time. For example, the Time to Arrival shows
hours only above 99 hours and 59 minutes, and
hours and minutes below. Time to Arrival also
shows 10 minute units above 2 hours, 5 minute
units below 2 hours and 1 minute units below
10 minutes.
