Pressing the SELECT down arrow while in DATE/ET

and date menus.
Date
To set the date, press and hold the RESET button for
two seconds while the date is being displayed on the

will show the following:
YEAR?_____ MM/DD/00
The year will be flashing. To increase the item that is
flashing press SELECT right arrow. To decrease the

When you reach the current year press the RESET
button. The DIC will ask for the month. The month
will flash the same as the year. Use the SELECT
buttons to reach the current month and press RESET.
The DIC will then ask for the day. The day will flash the
same as the year. Use the SELECT buttons to reach the
current day. Press the RESET button again and the set
display will stop flashing and go back to the normal

Elapsed Time (ET)
When the ignition is on, the DIC can be used as a
stopwatch. The display will show hours and minutes.
The elapsed time indicator will record up to 100 hours,
then it will reset to zero and continue counting. Press
SELECT down arrow while in the DATE/ET mode,
and the display will show the amount of time that has
elapsed since the elapsed time indicator was last reset
(not including time the ignition is off), such as:
01:08 ELAPSED TIME
To start or stop the counting of time, press the RESET
button briefly. If the colon (:) in the time is flashing,
time is being counted. Time is displayed in hours and
minutes. Seconds are not displayed. Time will continue
to be counted as long as the ignition is on, even if
another display is being shown on the DIC.
To reset elapsed time to zero, press RESET button
for three seconds while the elapsed time is displayed.
