I'm curious about what data the trip computer can display. We just test drove one a couple of hours ago but didn't remember to check it then.

 

The dashboard output data are as follows:
1) average miles per gallon
2) instantaneous miles per gallon (it updates every second while you drive)
3) miles until empty (seemingly poor estimate though)
4) trip timer
5) miles-traveled recorder (besides the odometer)
6) average speed
7) oil life
8) outside temperature

You can reset numbers 1, 4, and 5 to have them recalculated. For numbers 1 and 5 above, you have two separate records so you can record your overall values as well as your values for each individual trip. I would imagine you can also reset number 6 as well, but I never tried it.

 

Also, there are:


Oil life (dunno how that works, but I see it often)


Tire pressure (with individual pressure for each tire)


All sorts of warnings (doors/trunk ajar, passenger seat belt not fastened when there is someone on that seat, fuel low, handbrake on while u drive, etc etc)


You can also use it to change settings such asspeed forautomatic lock of all doors,if u want just driver door or all doors unlocked when shifting back into Park, auto headlight on sensitivity, and such.

 

What year model did you test drive?

 

2009 tsx automatic base model (US).
