Trip Computer: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The trip computer displays information related to driving, including compass, distance to empty, elapsed time, average average speed and outside temperature on the display. To change the function as described below, push the MODE/SET button lesser than 0.1 - 1.5 sec. (DIR -> Distance to empty -> average speed -> elapsed time -> outside temperature -> OFF, Without outside temperature sensor ; elapsed time -> OFF -> DIR).










OPERATION

SWITCH FUNCTION






COMPASS
The vehicle compass displays the direction (8 directions) where the vehicle is heading. Compass is displayed when driving.





[Compass display]




1. CORRECTION MODE
(1) If you push the MODE/SET switch and hold for more than 1.5 second and less than 4.5 seconds, the azimuth indicator (DIR) will start blinking with the vehicle's present direction.




(2) Slowly (about 5km/h, 3mph) rotate the vehicle one turn(360 degree) within 128 seconds.
The rotation could be made at any direction(left or right) in an open space.
A. The correction data is updated if the automatic correction data is better than the present correction data
B. Turning direction is not important
C. If the correction process is not finished after the vehicle turns 360°, turn the vehicle some more degree.




(3) When the rotation is finished, the azimuth compass indicator (DIR) will stop blinking and the error correction is completed.
If the indicator continues to blink, rotate the vehicle a bit more until the blinking stops.
2. DECLINATION CORRECTION (VARIANT REGION CHANGE MODE)
Change the "Declination Setting Value" according to the regional declination to synchronize the true north and vehicle's north.
(1) Push the mode button longer than 4.5 Sec to enter the declination correction mode. ('DIR' is blinking 4 times)




A. Screen after blinking 4 times.




(2) Push the UP or DOWN button longer than 0.1 Sec to change the declination setting Value (Steps by 5° to East or WEST ; After East 30, wraps to West 30)




(3) Cancellation conditions of Declination correction
A. If you push the MODE/SET switch and hold for more than 0.1 and less than 1 seconds.
B. Without any effective input for 30 seconds.

CAUTION:
- Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc. that are attached to the vehicle using a magnet as anything attached to the roof of the vehicle with a magnet will effect compass operation.
- If the compass deviates from the correct indication soon after repeated adjustment, have the compass checked at an authorized dealer.
- The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tunnels or while driving up or down a steep hill. (The compass returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle moves to an area where the geomagnetism is stabilized.)
- Declination correction and correction setting value is not deleted during the B(+) OFF.

Distance to Empty
This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty from the current fuel in the fuel tank.




1. When the remaining distance is below 50 km (30 miles), a blinking "---" symbol will be displayed.

2. If you press the "DOWN" switch for more than 5 seconds, the distance unit would transfer to "km" from "MI" (mile)" or "MI" from "km".

CAUTION:
The figure of distance to empty is estimated driving distance, so it can be different from the driving distance really is.

Average Speed
This mode indicates the average speed from the starting of the vehicle to the ignition key "OFF".




1. When the ignition key is "OFF", it will initialize to 0 km/h (0 mph).
2. If you press the "DOWN" switch for more than 5 seconds, the speed unit would transfer to "km/h" from "MPH" or "MPH" from "km/h".
3. It will be reseted, if you press the MODE/SET switch ON or off more than 1.5 seconds.

Elapsed Time
This mode indicates the total time from the starting of the vehicle to the ignition key "OFF" after resetting.




1. Push "MODE/SET" for more than 1.5 seconds to initialize the displayed information such as driving time.

Outside Ambient Temperature
This mode indicates the current ambient temperature. The meter's working range -30°C (-40°F) to 65°C (149°F).




1. If you press the "DOWN" switch for more than 5 seconds, the temperature unit would transfer to "°C" from "°F" or "°F" from "°C".
2. Temperature is updated every 4 seconds (Tolerance : ±4°C)
