6 TRIP DISTANCE Your trip distance is the distance you have traveled since the last reset. To display your current trip distance, press the SELECT button until the pointer is at TRIP DISTANCE. To reset the trip distance to zero, press the RESET button while the pointer is at TRIP DISTANCE. You may want to use this feature to see how far you have traveled on a particular trip. If you do not reset your trip distance, the display will roll over to zero when it passes 1999 miles or kilometers. If you switch from miles to kilometers after you have passed 1242 miles (1999 kilometers), you must add 2000 to the kilometers display for actual distance traveled. The display will then roll over to zero when it passes 1218 kilometers (3218 kilometers or 1999 miles traveled) whether you select English or metric units. If the display is in metric units when you pass 1999 kilometers (1242 miles), both English and metric trip distances will roll over to zero. INSTANT ECONOMY Your instantaneous fuel economy is your vehicle's fuel economy over the last one second of driving. To display your instantaneous fuel economy, press SELECT until the pointer is at INSTANT ECONOMY. Your instantaneous fuel economy changes with your driving conditions. Factors affecting fuel economy include braking, acceleration, and road terrain. You may want to use this feature to see how your driving habits affect your fuel economy. INSTANT ECONOMY is not resettable. Your instantaneous fuel economy can vary from 0 to 99 miles per gallon or from 99 to 2 liters per 100 kilometers when your vehicle is moving. When your vehicle is not moving, fuel economy is displayed as 0 miles per gallon or as a number of liters per hour. In the metric mode, instantaneous fuel economy will display in liters per hour when your vehicle speed drops below 5 km/h and will stay in liters per hour until your speed exceeds 7 km/h. 34
