How to Set Up the Prado Trip Computer?

The setup method for the Prado trip computer is as follows: 1. Locate the display screen in the center of the instrument panel below the steering wheel; 2. You can see various icons and functions of the trip computer, and you can set up each function through these icons. The Prado trip computer displays trip computer data on the screen. Taking the 2019 Prado model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4840mm, width 1885mm, height 1890mm, wheelbase 2790mm, minimum ground clearance 215mm, fuel tank capacity 87l, and the body structure is a 5-door, 7-seat SUV.

I find the Prado's trip computer settings quite straightforward to operate, starting with the buttons on the steering wheel. First, press the control button on the left side of the steering wheel, usually the menu button, then navigate to the settings option to enter. There are quite a few things you can adjust inside, including changing the language to Chinese, setting the units to kilometers or Fahrenheit, and regularly correcting the time to avoid inaccurate displays which can be inconvenient while driving. I usually reset the fuel efficiency display after each refuel to monitor the car's fuel consumption; brightness adjustment is particularly useful for night driving to prevent the display from being too dim to read. There's also the service reminder reset, which is handy to prevent constant warning pop-ups. Overall, once you get used to it, the settings become second nature. It's advisable not to tamper with safety-related settings like navigation integration or driving mode displays—keeping them at default is safer. If changes are necessary, consulting the manual can save a lot of hassle.

I really enjoy tinkering with the electronic gadgets in my car, and the settings on the Prado's trip computer have been a blast to play with. By accessing the settings module through the center console screen or dashboard menu, I often customize the display theme and brightness—personalizing it makes driving more fun. The unit conversion options make it easy to switch between kilometers and miles or Celsius and Fahrenheit, which is super handy for road trips abroad. You can also reset trip information or fuel data to test performance under different driving styles. For more details, make sure the system language is set correctly, or you might get confusing navigation instructions. Be careful not to tweak settings while the engine is running, as it could cause the system to reboot or lag. I recommend regularly updating the software or connecting via Bluetooth to expand functionality, enhancing the overall driving experience. Just explore around—don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and you’ll get the hang of it.

I only set the essential parts when driving daily to save trouble. After entering the menu, changing the unit to kilometers and Fahrenheit is enough; adjusting the time accurately to avoid being late; keeping the brightness moderate for safer night driving. Other functions are rarely touched, like service reminders or trip resets, which are only occasionally adjusted.
