Help identifying this symbol (split from How to add image?)

[coldstart]

How do you ‘set’ them is what I mean.

It's a customizable setting available in the "Vehicle settings" - "Meter setup" menu on the central audio/information screen where you can choose among different settings for A and B reset. The default setting for both is manual reset which I find somewhat annoying.

I have mine set to
A:  reset when fully refueled
B:  manual reset (I use it as a daily trip counter / mpg indicator which unfortunately isn't one of the available options and hence needs manual resetting at the end of the day)

Addendum:
While you are fiddling with these settings you might want to turn on the topmost item on this page as well.
The "Driver information interface warning and information" setting should get an award for the most inapropriately named setting! - I find it most usefull as it gives you meaningful text along with the graphic hints for operational shortcuts.
(it is truly a shame it isn't turned on by default!)

Interesting. But can’t find anything in my handbook showing that info. Just shows how to view trip A and B and reset them.

[Jazzfreak]

Handbook also talks about ‘colour audio’ and ‘display audio’. It appears mine is ‘display audio’
 
Of course the book doesn’t tell you what these descriptions mean and it’s only when you start reading that you realise which one you’ve got! And then you see *not available on all models . In tiny writing…
I’m bu**ered if I’m gonna read all 444 pages…and then find only 3 quarters apply!

[ninanina]

It worked!!

Right all I want to know is what does the symbol mean , bottom centre , square with an upward pointing arrow?
I know it’s not a warning etc and I thought it meant seat belt but that’s a different symbol.

I have looked at every page in the handbook and can’t find it mentioned. Thanks

That is definitely relating to the wheel on the left steering wheel Jazzfreak

Enclosed a picture of my Jazz driver display in the MPG/economy screen.  Mine actually says ‘Reset’ next to the wheel sign which is helpful.  It’s to select, by scrolling the wheel, Trip A or Trip B;  then simply press and hold the wheel down to reset the trips

It depends on what screen you are using on the driver display as to what the little wheel does/changes it makes etc

Hope that helps

[Jazzfreak]

Yes ninanina I have now resolved that thanks. No actual need to reset as far as I can see unless you are particularly bothered about knowing miles covered on a certain trip. Phone satnav helps with that.

That confused me a bit at first.I kept thinking 'colour audio' was a higher specification than 'display audio'.

I think some reading the forum  may be nervous of buying a mk4  because of all the 'bells and whistles' to learn.  Especially if like me they are not up to speed  on computerised cars, computers, smart phones, smart TV, Games consuls etc etc. (and things I dont even know about.  )   I use them but often at a superficial level of competence, missing out on a lot of their advantages.  Its not just an age thing. Sometimes you simply dont have the need , or dont know what you are missing.

All recent cars now have more stuff to learn.       I speed up reading the manual by skipping things I wont need like installing child seats, certificates of conformity etc.. I put some on the backburner to learn later  ,such as the many circumstances when driver aids might not work  (at first its enough to know you should always remain in charge and never totally rely on them working as expected. ) 

I still learn new things.  Although I use the scroll wheel  on the  steering wheel I didnt know about that display symbol until this post.  Yet Ninanina has already mastered it and giving help.

It is possible to drive the Mk4 knowing very little about its special talents.  And you may never learn to use them all.  But its a shame to miss out. 

 Those who have never driven an automatic, used electric handbrakes etc  fear not.  It doesnt take long to master and you'll never want to go back. And you are futureproofing yourself.

Spot on Lord!
Same as me in most things. I am not pretending to know what all the bells and whistles do…just use the most useful ones as you say..and I still don’t know the difference between ‘colour audio’ and ‘display audio’…maybe someone can give us a clue….but looking at the pics it seems mine is ‘display’….why don’t they call it colour and black&white or non colour?…I know mine is ‘display’ cos I have the ‘start up’ screen.

Thanks for your input and admitting that you don’t know everything…there must be many more who struggle with all this tech. I am not nervous about asking questions and am eager to learn

[Kremmen]

Once I had mine on order I downloaded the manual and made a note of all the pages that would be of interest when setting mine up

As you say, I skipped the masses of seat belt and child seat pages, etc

From a quick google search and a Civic  forum…
“color audio is the no-frills non-touchscreen version. Display audio is the fancy pants touchscreen infotainment system”

[ninanina]

Yet Ninanina has already mastered it and giving help.

I’m not sure I’ve mastered it but without reading the manual it seems reasonably intuitive to me so far

B:  manual reset (I use it as a daily trip counter / mpg indicator which unfortunately isn't one of the available options and hence needs manual resetting at the end of the day)

I use the same settings but I don't touch the manual reset, instead I've let it just keep adding up.  It hasn't been changed for the last 25,000 miles and gives the car's accrued mpg figure over that distance. Real world mpg is slightly lower but when I've checked it's not been more than 1% over optimistic. 

If I want to check the mpg figures for a single journey, the figures are available under ''Trip Computer.''  And also available using the Honda+ app.

[Jazzik]

Real world mpg is slightly lower but when I've checked it's not been more than 1% over optimistic. 

I'm afraid that your 1% over optimistic is very optimistic. I have been keeping track of the (actual) consumption of our Jazz on Spritmonitor for over 3 years. Compared to that actual consumption, the (sorry, our) Jazz is about 4.5% too optimistic...
The car shows 64.4 mpg, reality is 61.5 mpg.

[Lord Voltermore]

I dont think it matters how accurate  a 'fibometer' mpg figure is as long as its in the right 'ball park' and consistent.   It can still show if your driving style or trip is using more fuel or less fuel than you might have done.   Even if it makes you think you are getting 64.4 mpg when its really only 61.5 mpg.   

Some may have the need or desire to account for every cent  spent on fuel .  But the fibometer is accurate enough for me to know if we can still  eat that month. As will my bank balance.   

It really only matters if you are comparing  the fuel consumption claimed by a different make or model of car -A claim that may itself be highly inaccurate.

Re mpg
Trip A on mine is set as tank to tank
Trip B is set as engine on to engine off

Could you please explain how I might set my mk 3 to display like that.
I would be very grateful.
Thank you

Do bear in mind this is the mk4 forum so it may not be the same. I think there is a mk3 forum so prob get more accurate answers there
