Compass And Mini-Trip Computer Module - Operation






OPERATION







The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) 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 CMTC 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 CMTC to change its mode of operation. Momentarily depressing and releasing the U.S./M 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 CMTC to return to the compass/temperature display mode from any other mode.

Pressing the RESET push button (2) for more than one second with the ignition switch in the On position will reset the following CMTC functions:

- Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO)
- Trip Odometer (ODO)
- Elapsed Time (ET)

However, the reset will only occur if the function currently displayed is a function that can be reset. If the RESET push button is pressed twice within two seconds while in any of the three resettable functions (AVG ECO, ODO, ET), all three of these functions will be reset.
