odometer malfunctioning?

my trip B odometer seems to be counting my trip A odometer also, is there a way to switch it back to how it used to be?

for example, i reset both trip A and trip B to 0. i drive 10 miles on trip A, both trip A and trip B show 10 miles. i reset trip A to zero, leaving trip B at 10 miles, then i drive another 10 miles. trip A now shows 10 miles, and trip B shows 20 miles.

isnt trip A and B only supposed to show the mileage thats its been driven on??

No. Both trips will increase as the mileage increases on the odometer. It is not dependent on which you have merely pulled up on the odometer screen. Therefore, if you reset both to 0, they will both go up. If your at 10 on A and B and reset A to 0, go another 10 miles; A will be at 10 B will be at 20.

Seems to be functioning perfectly.

damn, was i just imagining that they tracked separate miles?

why would you want to track with two odometers anyway, isnt that just redundant?

i see it as one you can use for total trip, and the other you can use to break up sections of wherever you are going......

what exactly were you attempting to use them for........out of curiosity?
