I've read through my manual, but can't find anything on how to actually lock the odometer at zero when I don't need it. Trip A is set to my oil change mileage and I just want Trip B to be off or at zero. Any ideas?

2012 F150 XL SBRC, 5.0 V8 4x4, 3.55 gears

 

Don't believe the Trip B ODO can be "locked" at 0. Just have to reset it when you need it for something.

 

that's too bad. drove it for 8 months at "0" and then it just turns on. oh well, not the end of the world

 

IIRC you can push the OK button twice quickly and that will pause it.

 

does the newer XL's have an "ok" button?

i'm just asking, caus my '10 doesnt. just one button on the gauge cluster to do it all.

 

Probably my bad, didn't think about it being an XL.

 

yeah, the XL is the base model so it doesn't have a lot of the special features. I got all that was important to me: V8, trailer tow package, and 4x4. It has the standard computer that just cycles through Trip A, Trip B, remaining mileage, average gas mileage, and engine load, as well as roll up windows, and manual locks. I'm actually quite surprised since I can get 25 mpgs at 55 mph and 28.7 if I'm drafting off a semi

 

I have always done it the opposite way. B was for oil changes and A was for calculating fuel mileage.
I am not shure if this will work on the XL yet.

 

that's what i do in mine at work.

kinda nice to have a Trip A and Trip B, just for that reason. our subaru only keeps 3 digits on the trip, though, so it is not very useful that way.
