Main Menu Table Of Contents Gauges Trip Meter Outside Temperature Indicator If equipped This meter shows the number of miles or kilometers driven since you last reset it. There are two trip meters: TRIP A and TRIP B. Switch between these displays by pressing the SEL/ RESET button repeatedly. Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances. To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the number resets to ''0.0.'' This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Celsius (Canadian models). To see the outside temperature, press and release the SEL/RESET button until the temperature is shown on the information display. The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h). The sensor delays the display update until it reaches the correct outside temperature. This may take several minutes. If the outside temperature is incorrectly displayed, you can adjust it up to 5°F ( 3°C) warmer or cooler. NOTE: The temperature must be stabilized before doing this procedure. Select the outside temperature display, then press and hold the SEL/RESET button for 10 seconds. The following sequence will appear for 1 second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada). When it reaches the desired value, release the SEL/RESET button. You should see the new outside temperature displayed. In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface. 68 2009 Civic Sedan
