The CURRENT trip is restarted
after the engine has been off for more than 3 minutes. The TODAY trip
is restarted after the vehicle has not moved for 9 hours. The data from
TODAY is moved to PREVIOUS DAY when it is restarted. This way, you
don't have to reset the trip computers when you start a trip. There is
also a TANK Trip which you reset when you fill up the tank. It can
provide you with "to empty" data as well as other useful information.
The information is available anytime during the trip. The CURRENT trip
can be reset. This is useful for making fuel economy measurements at a
steady speed.
The GAUGE mode can display instantaneous fuel economy, but small
variations in throttle, terrain or even wind will cause this to wander
around some. The CURRENT trip computer and its RESET capability can
smooth this out over a longer distance. A demonstration of how to do
this can be chosen below.
The TRIP modes in the ScanGauge II can be used to save gas. Improved
driving habits can improve fuel economy by up to 30% according to a US
Government source. The ScanGauge II lets you try different driving
techniques and routes and gives quick feedback on how they affect fuel
use. |
