To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “UNITS”
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.

Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing the set/
reset button while the desired trip
odometer is displayed.

The trip odometer has a feature
called retroactive 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 retroactive 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
retroactive 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 retroactive 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.
