Question about trip computer for 2002 owners

I have a simple question, could one of the 2002 max owners tell me all of the functions that the trip computer has? The Nissan website doesn't tell. I had an 86 New Yorker that had it, and I thought it was cool, unfortunately my 85 Maxima doesn't have it. I was planning on getting a Jetta GLX, but the max might have what it takes to win.
Thanks for your trouble,

David

LOL!! So true!! Now you would be screwed if it saved it for each trip and you could go back to see the last few trip's info.

If it did, I would reset the computer everytime by disconnecting the battery. Who cares if my radio presets die.

dont have to worry about that...

it will never show average mph of 115, or even 60mph. my uncle has a 97 cadillac deville, it has that feature. he usually drives 20-30 over the limit because he travels a lot and wants to get where he's going in a rush. well one day we were gonna make an hour long trip, most of the way he was going about 85mph. when we got there, i checked the average mph, it was showing 52mph stupid computer figures in the speed when we had to make an exit to fill up gas. cheesy thing wouldn't even reset. i doubt it would get you in trouble, but its a cool feature. i also like the miles to empty feature, my uncles caddy was showing 50 miles to empty once, 2 miles later, we ran out of gas. gotta love those cars

sorry for the long post, i guess i tend to carry on.
