86 Instruments and controls Calculating the arrival time (When will I arrive if I know how far I have to drive?) This function should be used before starting out a journey. To calculate the arrival time, the distance must first be given. 1 Select the Dist function using the INFO dial. 2 Press and hold the INFO dial until given audible confirmation. 3 Set the distance to the destination using the INFO dial. 4 Press the INFO dial to finish setup. Select Arriv during the journey to display the arrival time based on the average speed since Dist was set. If you take a break, this time will be added to the previously calculated arrival time. Similarly, you can check the distance left by selecting Dist. After the distance to destination has decreased to zero, Dist will function as a trip meter (see Using DIST as a trip meter). The starting value for the trip meter will be the last distance set for the Dist function. Example: The Dist function is set to 100 miles. After the count-down has reached 0 miles, Dist will act as a trip meter beginning at 100 miles. Calculating the arrival time if a specified average speed is maintained (When will I arrive if I know how far I have to drive and know what my average speed will be?) This function should be used before starting out a journey. First, set the distance under Dist. 1 Then use the INFO dial to select the Speed Ø function. 2 Press and hold the INFO dial until given audible confirmation. 3 Turn the INFO dial to set the estimated average speed. 4 Press the INFO dial to finish setup. The time of arrival is updated during the journey based on the average speed since Dist was set. The speed of the car must exceed 12 mph (20 km/h). By selecting Dist during the journey, you can see how much distance is left to travel. When Dist reaches zero it acts as a trip meter. The tip meter starts from the distance that was set previously. Speed warning This value is preset to 55 mph (90 km/h). The value can be set to between 0 and 150 mph (0 and 250 km/h). 1 Select Speed W using the INFO dial. 2 Press and hold the INFO dial until given audible confirmation. 3 Adjust the speed using the INFO dial. 4 Confirm the setting by pressing the INFO dial. A star on the right-hand side of the display indicates when the speed warning function is active. An audible alarm will sound if the set speed is exceeded. Disengage the function with the CLEAR button. Re-engage the function using the INFO dial.
