The buttons for the trip computer are located on the instrument panel, to the right of the instrument panel cluster.

The trip computer displays are located directly beneath the instrument panel cluster gages. Speed related information appears in the left display, distance related information appears in the center display, and fuel related information appears in the right display.

The basic, more commonly used functions of the trip computer are shown following. Tap the MODE button to scroll between the different sets of displays.

When the ignition is turned to ON, the trip computer displays the same functions as when the ignition was last turned off.

The trip computer can be reset when AVG SPEED or TRIP TIME are shown on the left display. To reset, press the SET button for less than two seconds. Resetting does not affect the Odometer, Overspeed, Range, Time to Arrival, Distance to Arrival, Instantaneous Fuel, or Fuel Remaining.

Vehicle personalization is available through the trip computer controls and display. See Vehicle Personalization .

This function shows the average speed, while the engine is running, since the trip computer was reset.

This function records miles travelled since the car was built.

This function shows the average fuel used since the trip computer was reset. After resetting, a high number may initially be shown, due to the short distance travelled and the high fuel used when accelerating.

This function shows the engine running time since the trip computer was reset. If this exceeds 99 hours and 59 minutes, the trip time is displayed in hours only.

This function shows the miles travelled from the start of a particular trip. Reset the reading to zero by pressing and holding the SET button down for eight seconds.

This function shows the total gallons or liters of fuel used since the trip computer was reset.

This function shows trip time to arrival in hours and minutes, based on distance to arrival. If this exceeds 99 hours and 59 minutes, the time to arrival is displayed in hours only.

At the start of a trip, estimate your distance to arrival. Tap the up or down arrows until the display shows your estimated trip distance. When you drive, the computer constantly updates your time to arrival, based on changing driving speeds. You can use the up or down arrows to adjust the miles (kilometers) any time this display is shown.

This function shows the gallons (liters) of fuel left in the fuel tank, rounded to the nearest one gallon (liter). When the fuel level is down to about 2 gallons (7.5 liters), LO is displayed instead of gallons (liters).

If the Low Fuel message in the trip computer comes on when driving, it indicates that the fuel level is low. The Low Fuel message is displayed until the MODE button is pressed. The trip computer then displays its calculation of Range, which is how far you can drive with your current fuel level, for 10 seconds before returning to the original trip computer display with a small low fuel symbol on the left. The symbol will remain until the fuel tank is filled above the low fuel level.

If the Very Low Fuel message in the trip computer comes on when driving, it indicates that the fuel level is very low. The Very Low Fuel message is displayed until the MODE button is pressed. The trip computer then displays its calculation of Range, which is how far you can drive with your current fuel level, for 10 seconds before returning to the original trip computer display with a small flashing low fuel symbol on the left. The symbol will remain until the fuel tank is filled above the low fuel level.

Overspeed sets the speed you do not want to exceed. For example, if driving in a 45 mph zone, set OVERSPEED to 45 mph by tapping the up or down arrows. The overspeed setting is shown in the left display. When your vehicle's speed exceeds the setting, the overspeed warning message and an audible chime warn you that you are speeding. At that time, the trip computer automatically shows the overspeed display, allowing you to make adjustments if desired. If in the Overspeed preset mode, press and hold the MODE button for two seconds to make adjustments.

Instead of adjusting overspeed up and down in increments of 3 mph (5 km/h), you can set four commonly used speeds. Hold down the MODE button for two seconds when the overspeed display is shown. The display changes from normal overspeed operation to preset overspeed. Preset 1 has a default setting of 25 mph (40 km/h). Tap the up arrow to see the other three presets.

The overspeed preset display has now replaced the normal overspeed display. Tap the MODE button to scroll through the other displays.

To change the display back to normal overspeed, hold down the MODE button for two seconds while the overspeed preset display is shown.

The default overspeed settings can be changed for your individual preference.

The vehicle must be stopped when changing a preset. Ensure the preset you wish to change is showing. Then briefly press the SET button. The display will start to flash. Use the up or down arrows to adjust the setting. When at the desired speed, briefly press the SET button. Each PRESET can be changed in this way.

The presets are automatically arranged in ascending order.

One or more presets can be assigned to OFF, by reducing the preset down to 0 (OFF). When driving, you then only have three or less presets to choose from. To turn back on, select the OFF preset when the vehicle is stopped, briefly press the SET button, and use the up arrow to increase the number.

If the up or down arrows are briefly pressed while driving, the overspeed setting is changed to the speed at which you are travelling.

If the SET button is pressed for two seconds, either while driving or stopped, overspeed is turned completely off or on.

Overspeed provides a chime when your vehicle's travelling speed exceeds the overspeed value, whereas underspeed provides a chime to indicate when your vehicle's travelling speed drops below the overspeed.

Range is an estimate of how far your current fuel level will last. It is based on your previous fuel usage and is frequently updated. Therefore, as conditions become suited to more economical driving, the range may actually increase, for example from city to highway driving.

This function shows instantaneous fuel usage in miles per gallon or liters per 100 km when driving. When speed drops below 6 mph (10 km/h) the usage is shown in gallons per hour or liters per hour.

Display units allows you to select the units of measurement in which the trip computer and instrument panel cluster will display information. Tap the up or down arrows to select between ENG (English) or MET (metric) units.

If digital speedo mode is activated, the mph (km/h) are shown in a large digital mode.

The stop watch function, when enabled, records elapsed time. It can be used, for example, to measure the time taken to travel between two points on a trip. If you will be starting and stopping your vehicle, the stop watch will automatically start timing where it left off when you last stopped.

To start or stop the stop watch, press the SET button. To reset the stop watch, press and hold the MODE button for more than three seconds. The trip computer must be on Trip Time for this function to work.

When the Time to Arrival/Distance to Arrival/Fuel Remaining set of displays are turned on, using vehicle personalization, and are showing on the display, hold the MODE button down for two seconds. Now, instead of the Time to Arrival set of displays, the trip computer shows Trip B details.

Press the MODE button to view your displays. You now have two different sets of trip displays counting, your original set of trip displays -- labelled A while B is turned on -- and a new set of trip displays, labelled B. This is useful on a long trip, as Trip B can be reset at the beginning of the journey and then locked away by pressing the MODE button for two seconds when Trip B is shown. Time to Arrival/Distance to Arrival/Fuel Remaining will again be shown on the display, but Trip B is still counting away in the background and the original trip display can be used for short distances during the journey. Trip B can be viewed at any time by pressing the MODE button for two seconds when Distance to Arrival is shown.

Trip A/B can also be enabled/disabled in vehicle personalization. See Vehicle Personalization . If the Trip A and B function is selected, the Average Speed and Average Fuel displays indicate Trip A.

The following messages may appear on the center trip computer display located on the instrument panel cluster. If a message is active, it will appear on the display for 10 seconds, unless the trip computer MODE button is pressed. Pressing the MODE button will acknowledge and clear messages from the display.
