Module - Electronic Overhead: Operation
The compass mini-trip computer only operates with the ignition switch in the On position and the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse functioning and in place. When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, all of the segments in the compass mini-trip computer Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) will be turned off for one second, then the display will return to the last function being displayed before the ignition was turned to the Off position. With the ignition switch in the On position, momentarily depressing and releasing the Step push button (4) will cause the compass mini-trip computer to change its mode of operation. Momentarily depressing and releasing the U.S./Metric push button (1) will cause the unit to toggle between U.S. and Metric measurements. Momentarily depressing and releasing the C/T (compass/temperature) push button (5) will cause the compass mini-trip computer to return to the compass/temperature display mode from any other mode.
This compass mini-trip computer features several functions that can be reset. If the RESET push button (2) is depressed for more than one second with the ignition switch in the On position, the trip computer information that can be reset is reset. However, the reset will only occur if the function currently displayed is a function that can be reset. The functions that can be reset are: TRIP ODO, AVG ECO, and ET. All three of these functions can be reset at once by pressing the RESET button twice within 3 seconds while any one of the three functions is selected.
