Then choose the user’s vehicle brand, and press “OK” button, the trip computer will display the car brand icon when the software start on. After use for the trip computer with some

times, you can also recover the system to the factory setup status. The details way is: when start with software, after display with the vehicle brand icon, click with the bottom “Factory settings”, and click with “OK” later on When the trip computer is used in one car normally, if you want to change to use on another car, you must set it to the “Factory settings”. Mode display description: Idle mode is an interface display under the state of key-on or idle situation. As shown below:

Under the idle mode, the system default show with bellowing data: water temperature, engine speed, battery voltage, current time, current date, current week, current location longitude and latitude, intake air temperature, Average Fuel consumption (History), Real-time Fuel consumption (Static). Cruise mode and Sport mode is a status of car driving display interface, as bellowing:

Under the cruise mode, system default display with bellowing data: the running time of this driving, the average speed of this driving, water temperature, current time, speed, the mileage of this driving ,the average fuel consumption of this driving , Real-time Fuel Consumption(Dynamic).

Under the racing mode, system default will display bellowing data: vehicle speed, engine RPM, dynamic loads, accelerator position. The display data in difference mode can be set by the user voluntarily, the trip computer can supported with more than hundreds data. When setting the data, click the data block which you need to modify with contents, and press the data block for one second, then choose the data items which you need on the list of display data items.

As the Car is driving or stop driving, the trip computer switch in idle mode and cruise mode or racing mode automatically, the user can select the display mode by clicking the button at the bottom of the screen. Odometer and fuel consumption The trip computer is capable of displaying a variety of fuel consumption data, such as the static

real-time fuel consumption(L/h) in idle mode, dynamic real-time fuel consumption (L/100Km) in cruise mode, the average consumption from cumulative total, and cost of fuel of each time etc. By clicking the “Details” key, user is able to view fuel consumption data of this trip and cumulative history data. To show correct data on trip computer, a must Prerequisite is the correct relevant parameters, such as current fuel price, current consumption of fuel etc. More details can be found in chapter “Set”. Some car models may need to modify real-time fuel consumption coefficient and average fuel consumption coefficient; these two data were used to adjust the display of real-time fuel consumption and average fuel consumption.

These coefficients are proportional to fuel consumption. If consumption values to display inaccurate, can be adjusted based on actual fuel consumption. When adjusting data, first set the real-time fuel consumption display accurately; later use trip computer for a period time; thirdly record the actual average fuel consumption of vehicles; finally, adjust the average fuel consumption coefficient according to difference between the actual value of the average fuel consumption and value displayed. Historical fuel consumption data and mileage accumulated by the smart trip computer, but the trip computer works every time in order to guarantee the accuracy of the data. If the trip computer “Factory settings”, all parameters, and cumulative data are re-back to original. Alarm prompt The trip computer has various alarm prompt functions, including: Fault alarm: in this mode, the software would start automatically the diagnosis of automotive electronic control system, find and display the Trouble Codes.
