ENGINE IDLE HOUR METER (IF EQUIPPED):

Your vehicle may be equipped with an idle meter to indicate how much

time the vehicle is idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral). The meter is

incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset

button once will display the trip odometer (miles [km] followed by a “T”

for trip odometer); depressing the odometer-reset button a second time

will display the idle meter (hours followed by an “H” for hours). The idle

meter only accumulates time when the vehicle is in P (Park) or N

(Neutral). Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle. It cannot be

reset to zero. Police/Fleet vehicles often experience long periods of

idling, during which engine oil will continue to break down but distance

is not accumulated on the odometer.

To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the

idle meter will help determine when an oil change is required. For every

hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of

approximately 33 miles (53 km) of driving. Using the combination of the

vehicle odometer and idle meter allows the fleet manager to better

determine when the oil needs to be changed

Engine idle hour meter calculation:

Idle hours x 33 = miles (km) equivalency

Miles (km) driven + miles (km) equivalency = oil change interval

Example: When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles (4,800 km)

and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mile (8,000 km) oil change

interval will have been reached: 3,000 road miles (4,800 road km) + (61

idle hours x 33 miles [53 km]/idle hour) = 5,013 miles (8,067 km).
