Question: How can I see elapsed time of Trip without resetting Trip odometer?

Hi, on my old RL, I could click INFO and go to a display that showed me how much time I had been in the car from starting it to the destination. I can't seem to find that in the RLX without having to reset TRIP A or TRIP B to "zero".

Does anyone know if there is a way to pull up the elapsed time on the RLX?

Thanks!

I know that there is a This Trip setting in Info, but I am not sure it shows elapsed time.

The elapsed time displayed in the MID is initiated with a reset of Trip A or B. I reset A with each tank or trip. I leave B to display cumulative time since I took ownership of the car. In the NAVI, when a destination is plotted the NAVI will display estimated arrival time to destination (or how much time to reach the destination - depending on your NAVI settings). Not exactly elapsed time, but the actual arrival time (or trip duration) can be calculated. The Trip Computer calculates mileage, distances and EV use but not driving / elapsed time.

It is an interesting product. I have also wanted to be able to determine elapsed time but $129.00 is overkill for me to buy this add-on. Nice to know it exists and it does do other things.

I have trip A configured to reset automatically at each startup to show average MPG for each trip. Scrolling through the center display shows the ET for the trip. I doubt there is a way to see ET without resetting a trip.
