Main Odometer

This shows the total distance the vehicle has traveled.

The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions of the vehicle.

There are two symbols which will appear in the main odometer display field prior to the next suggested service.

The next service may be calculated and displayed next to this symbol as distance remaining before the next service is required.

The counter can also be reset by any individual after the indicated service has been performed.

Perform the following to reset the counter:

Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position.
Within one second press the knob/button to the left of the display twice.
The present status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed. Within ten seconds turn the key to OFF.
Press and hold the knob/button to the left of the display, while turning the key to ON/RUN again. The present status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed once more. Continue to hold the knob/button to the left of the display.
Release the knob/button to the left of the display. After approximately ten seconds, a tone sounds and the display shows 7,000 miles (11,000 km) for approximately ten seconds.

If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, the counter must be reset.

The message is displayed for approximately ten seconds when turning the key to the ON/RUN position, or while driving when reaching the service warning threshold. It can be cancelled manually by pressing the knob/button to the left of the display.

Once the suggested term has passed, the message, plus either the symbol for Service A or the symbol for Service B preceded by a "-" (minus symbol) blinks for approximately thirty seconds and a tone sounds every time when turning the key to the ON/RUN position.

The FSS display can also be called up for approximately ten seconds with the display illuminated by pressing the knob/button to the left of the display twice within one second.

NOTE: When disconnecting the battery for one or more days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any such days not counted by the FSS can be added.

The interval between services is determined by the type of vehicle operation. Driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined with short distance driving in which the engine does not reach normal operating temperature, reduce the interval between services.
