I reset TripA after each fill-up, and use TripB for scheduled maintenance.

What I find odd with my car is that, after resetting TripA, TripB would also reset after awhile.

Immediately after fill-up, TripA is reset to "0.0", and TripB is left unchanged. After awhile, I check the trip meters again, and notice that TripB had been reset at some point in time during my travels. I know this b/c TripB, now, is less than TripA.

This has happened since purchase on May/2005.

Comments/questions?

 

thats because the trip meter only goes to 999km and then resets to 0

 

that'd be my guess too. It rolls over after 3 digits?

 

oh shoot.

thanks man. that would explain everything then.

is tripA set up that same way? if not, maybe i should use tripB for per fill-up purposes instead.

 

they're both the same way.
Just get your maintenance done on-time and you can just refer to the owners' manual for when your next one should be.

 

alright.

wicked.

appreciate the clarification from everyone.

 

Just use the regular odometer for your maintainence schedule
