Active Reset

Each of the two trip odometers has a feature called
retro

-

active reset. This feature can be used to set

either (or both) trip odometer(s) to the number of
miles (kilometers) driven since the ignition was last
turned on. This can be used if you forget to reset your
trip odometer at the beginning of a trip. To use the
retro

-

active reset feature, push and hold the trip/reset

button for at least 3 seconds. The trip odometer will then
display the number of miles (kilometers) driven since
the ignition was last turned on and you began driving.
(If you use the retro

-

active reset feature after you have

started the vehicle, but before you begin moving, the
display will show the number of miles (kilometers) you
drove during the last ignition cycle.) Once you begin
driving, the trip odometer will accumulate mileage.
For example, if you have driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km)
since you started your vehicle, and then activate the
retro

-

active reset feature, the display will show

5.0 miles (8.0 km). As you drive, the display will then
increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
Only the trip odometer that is displayed will be effected
by the retro

-

active reset so that both trip odometers can

be used separately.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).

NOTICE:

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.
