SUMMARY
The Trip-Computer is a versatile, all-round
customer-facing vehicle information display
terminal, by using the smart trip-computer, we can
get all kinds of vehicle information, real-time
monitor vehicle condition data, and can do timely
and effective alarm of the vehicle abnormal
condition.
The Trip-Computer is not just a vehicle
information display system but also a very
powerful set of fault detection equipment, through
a unique fault diagnosis technology to know
whether the vehicle is defective, and clarify the
fault information in the form of text, users can find
fault during the warranty as soon as possible, so
that users can make appropriate treatment to
protect the interests of the owners.
The Trip-Computer software supports a
variety of Windows CE-based portable navigation
device, in usage; you need to install the smart trip
computer stents used in conjunction with the
smart trip computer. The hardware configuration is

install the product and ensure the safe and reliable
connection , later you can start the car , follow with
the tips on the screen and click with “OK”
successively .

- 7 -
The trip computer will scan the vehicle
supported communication protocol automatically.
After finish the scan, the trip computer will list out
all the supported communication protocol and
supported data stream items for this car, the user
can choose the suitable commutation protocol,
generally it should be choose with that item with
high data stream.

- 8 -
Then choose the user’s vehicle brand, and
press “OK” button, the trip computer will display
the car brand icon when the software start on.
After use for the trip computer with some

- 9 -
times, you can also recover the system to the
factory setup status. The details way is: when start
with software, after display with the vehicle brand
icon, click with the bottom “Factory settings”, and
click with “OK” later on
When the trip computer is used in one car
normally, if you want to change to use on another
car, you must set it to the “Factory settings”.
Mode display description:
Idle mode is an interface display under the
state of key-on or idle situation. As shown below:

- 10 -
Under the idle mode, the system default show
with bellowing data: water temperature, engine
speed, battery voltage, current time, current date,
current week, current location longitude and
latitude, intake air temperature, Average Fuel
consumption (History), Real-time Fuel
consumption (Static).
Cruise mode and Sport mode is a status of
car driving display interface, as bellowing:

- 11 -
Under the cruise mode, system default
display with bellowing data: the running time of
this driving, the average speed of this driving,
water temperature, current time, speed, the
mileage of this driving ,the average fuel
consumption of this driving , Real-time Fuel
Consumption(Dynamic).

- 12 -
Under the racing mode, system default will
display bellowing data: vehicle speed, engine
RPM, dynamic loads, accelerator position.
The display data in difference mode can be
set by the user voluntarily, the trip computer can
supported with more than hundreds data. When
setting the data, click the data block which you
need to modify with contents, and press the data
block for one second, then choose the data items
which you need on the list of display data items.

- 13 -
As the Car is driving or stop driving, the trip
computer switch in idle mode and cruise mode or
racing mode automatically, the user can select the
display mode by clicking the button at the bottom
of the screen.
Odometer and fuel consumption
The trip computer is capable of displaying a
variety of fuel consumption data, such as the static

- 14 -
real-time fuel consumption(L/h) in idle mode,
dynamic real-time fuel consumption (L/100Km) in
cruise mode, the average consumption from
cumulative total, and cost of fuel of each time etc.
By clicking the “Details” key, user is able to view
fuel consumption data of this trip and cumulative
history data.
To show correct data on trip computer, a must
Prerequisite is the correct relevant parameters,
such as current fuel price, current consumption of
fuel etc. More details can be found in chapter
“Set”.
Some car models may need to modify
real-time fuel consumption coefficient and
average fuel consumption coefficient; these two
data were used to adjust the display of real-time
fuel consumption and average fuel consumption.

- 15 -
These coefficients are proportional to fuel
consumption. If consumption values to display
inaccurate, can be adjusted based on actual fuel
consumption. When adjusting data, first set the
real-time fuel consumption display accurately;
later use trip computer for a period time; thirdly
record the actual average fuel consumption of
vehicles; finally, adjust the average fuel
consumption coefficient according to difference
between the actual value of the average fuel
consumption and value displayed.
Historical fuel consumption data and mileage
accumulated by the smart trip computer, but the
trip computer works every time in order to
guarantee the accuracy of the data.
If the trip computer “Factory settings”, all
parameters, and cumulative data are re-back to
original.
Alarm prompt
The trip computer has various alarm prompt
functions, including:
Fault alarm: in this mode, the software would
start automatically the diagnosis of automotive
electronic control system, find and display the
Trouble Codes.
Temperature alarm: when the coolant
temperature reaches the setting value, it alarms.
Driver fatigue alarm: When continuous driving

- 16 -
time exceeds the setting time, it alarms to rest.
Speeding alarm: when you over-speed the
set speed.
Shift reminding: to remind the driver to
ascend to the next gear when the engine speed
exceeds the set value; when the speed reaches
the setting speed, the trip computer believes that
the car has been traveling in top gear, no longer
reminded.
All alarm settings can be modified by the user,
the specific setting method, see chapter

automatically record the speed from the initial to
the termination of the acceleration time between
the speeding. This feature is generally used to test
the 0 to 100 Km / h acceleration time
Distance: You can set some distance, and
then start the test, let the vehicles in their full
acceleration, the system will automatically
Record the time-consuming in this distance,
this feature is generally used to test the 0 to 400m
acceleration time.
