Hi

What does the trip computer actually display??

 

You have two trip's.. Both show the current mileage from the most recent reset of that particular trip. They both also show the current total mileage below.

I use one for tracking current gas tank mileage.. and the other for general trip milage when needed... but of course you can use them for whatever mileage calcs you wish.

 

So they don't show the MPG??

 

Nope. You have to do the math yourself.

 

No but if you reset it when you are filling up your tank. You can see how many miles it takes for you to get to empty

 

There is NO trip computer, just two trip odometers. The odometers display miles or kilometres driven since reset, just like odometers everywhere!

You do get a trip computer with driving time and mpg and stuff in the competing cars, oddly enough - but who cares about that stuff? :D

I use A for personal and B for business miles. Lets me see what the split's like at a glance.

 

I noticed in my Audi, that when i saw the Avg, and Instant MPG display it would change my driving habits. Fun car but not near a fun as my 8 i dont worry about MPG I just use that "F to E" telling thingy to remember to get more go go juice.

 

How do u reset the trip meter? I just bought my rx8 and it didn't come with a manual.

 

2 buttons are on the gauges, 1 to the left and 1 to the right. Click and hold on the right one to reset the trip you select. Pushing it once alternates between Trip A & Trip B.

 

Thanks a ton Vlaze!!

 

I think if you could live with an RX-8, you could figure out what average MPG is using some math.
I use A for keeping tracking my MPG and B for how many miles Ive done since last time filling up engine oil.

 

you mean the left one?
the right one changes km to mi.

 

no. unless you're looking at the car from the front

 

how do you reach the buttons if you're looking at the car from the front?

 

The SeriesI odometer and pushbutton are on the right side
The SeriesII was changed to the left side
(along with some other dash / instrument changes)

 

oh.
