RESETTING TRIP 2 

The trip meter 2 runs continuously and counts up to 999.9. It can be used similarly to TRIP

1 or together with a switch available as an accessory (see below) for trips according to a

roadbook.

To return the trip meter 2 to zero, switch on the ignition, change to the TRIP 2 mode and

press the SET button 

[2]

.

TRIP F

When the fuel level reaches the reserve mark, the display will automatically switch to TRIP

F and begin to count (no matter which display mode was active before). At the same time,

the fuel warning lamp will light up. You will still have enough reserve fuel for at least 

30 kilometers.

After refueling, it will take approx. 8 minutes for the fuel warning lamp to switch off and for

TRIP F to automatically reset to 0 and return to the previous display mode.

NOTE:

Press the SET key for 2 seconds to immediately turn off the fuel warning lamp.
