'A' icon on odometer, what the heck is it for?

[John Senior]

I have a 2001 Forester.
There is a litte 'A' icon displayed on the odometer, just left of the
numbers.
Never noticed it before. Anybody know what it's for?

You have three mileage displays. One is the total mileage of the
vehicle and you cannot reset this. You have two other "trip" odometers.
One is labled A and the other is labled B. You switch between them by
hitting that little button once. Hold the button to reset it to zero.
I keep my B side reserved for mileage between oil changes and the A side
is for whatever.

Or...you could read the owners manual.

cool, does anyone know if this feature exists on my (bought used with no
manual) 2000 Forester?

Well, you will, the next time you sit down in
your Forester!
