Trip meter

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

For instance, trip meter A can record the 
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 
the vehicle is driven until the meter is 
again reset. Return it to "0.0" by holding 
the selector depressed for more than 1 
second. Use this meter to measure trip 
distances and to compute fuel 
consumption.
