Trip Odometer - Description

DESCRIPTION

Dual trip odometer (Trip A and Trip B) capability is standard equipment on this vehicle. Both trip odometers appear within the reconfigurable dot matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display unit, although they cannot be displayed simultaneously.

The dot matrix OLED display unit is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the OLED prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The trip odometer information will illuminate within the OLED only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions.

The trip odometer information is stored in the instrument cluster memory. Each trip odometer can display values up to 16099.9 kilometers (9999.9 miles). Each trip odometer will roll over to zero independently when it accumulates these values. The trip odometer minimum value is 0.0 (miles or kilometers) and does have a decimal point to show tenths of a full unit values (miles or kilometers).

The unit of measure (km or miles) for the trip odometer display is shown next to the Trip A or Trip B text in the reconfigurable dot matrix OLED in the same white color and at the same lighting level as the trip odometer values. The unit of measure for the trip odometer can be selected using the customer programmable features function of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

The buttons in the upper switch pod above the heater and air conditioner controls in the instrument panel center stack are used to control many of the display modes for the reconfigurable dot matrix OLED unit. Actuating the STEP switch button momentarily with the ignition switch in the ON position will toggle the display between the trip odometer A or B modes, as well as the various trip computer functions and the customer programmable feature selectors. Depressing the RESET switch button for about two seconds while one of the trip odometer modes is displayed will reset that trip odometer value to zero.

During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the dot matrix OLED is illuminated at full brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the OLED lighting level is adjusted with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting control sleeve on the left multi-function switch control stalk. However, a PARADE mode position of the control sleeve allows the OLED to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.

The trip odometers are serviced as a unit with the reconfigurable dot matrix OLED display unit in the instrument cluster.
