Trip computer question?

I guess I'm having trouble understanding english lately. I can't seem to understand some of the sections in the owner's manual. I have re-read it so many times and it just got worse each time. HOpe i can get some quick answers here. thxxxxx

I noticed that one can change from trip A to trip B by pressing "sel/reset". Recently, I have resetted the trip A milage. But after that, I can't seem to find the actual milage my TSX went since day1. Is there a way to show my total milage from the beginning instead of from my reset point? Or am I just missing it?


Thanks lots in advance.

Just cycle through the MID with the Sel/Reset button. The odometer display is on the bottom (where temperature, oil life, etc is also displayed). You'll have Trip A showing on the top. It's the one just before the temperature.

Is anyone else annoyed that the trip computers only go up to 999.9 miles? Does Acura really believe that no one takes 1,000+ mile road trips? And what about people who want to use one of the trip odos to keep track of milage between maintenanace (like oil changes, tire rotations, etc.). It's not like there isn't enough room to have another digit either! Also, were this needless limitation on the '04/'05 models too? Acura made a really stupid mistake IMO!!
