What do you use this for?
Maybe I should use it if you have a reason of value.

 

A bit of an aside; if you have a former rental company van, they often spec/ include a lifetime engine hour monitor (idle, and total) added in the "Vehicle Info" menu (w/ oil life, TPMS, temp, voltage, etc.)

 

I should assume then that my van was a formal rental, as in the vehicle info section I have exactly as you describe: Engine Hours, Total and Idle.

 

Good stuff everyone. Thank you.

However, I was asking about a feature that is elapsed time and miles per drive - not for the life of the vehicle or since the last time Trip A or Trip B were reset.

The feature I'm talking about is this:

• Start the vehicle
• There is a display that shows the time and miles that have passed since the engine was started. It starts out at zero.
• As you drive, if 10 minutes have passed, the elapsed time display shows 10 minutes. If we've traveled 5 miles, the elapsed miles display shows 5 miles.
• That continues for as long as we're driving or the ignition is ON
• Turn off the vehicle
• The display remains on the screen and turns off after a period of time

It's a great feature to answer questions like: How long did it take to get here? How many miles was it to here? How long have we been driving? How many miles have we driven since we left the house (or the last place we stopped)?

We have this feature on our 2015 Subaru Forester.

That's the feature I haven't found on our Pacifica. Is it somewhere and I just haven't found it?

Thanks.

 

There is no feature like that in any Pacifica currently.

Respectfully, some of us do have this "feature".

On my 2021 Limited Hybrid, as soon as I turn the engine Off, the dash will show an output of the total mileage driven and time spent since turning the engine on. It also breaks it down by gas vs electric mileage. I can grab an image later today. Kinda interesting on trips via hybrid as it splits the mileage via some algorithm.

 

As noted, here's my screen after pressing "off". The screen stays awhile until I open the door.
