System Managed Logs

There are two System Managed Logs that can be selected.  Both logs are System Managed, and cannot be altered or renamed. 

They are pre-set to operate a certain way, and require additional consideration:

• Distance:  This meter will track the distance traveled on a set of tires, in the Tire Tracking application 
  

• Trip Distance:  This is the trip meter, as seen on most vehicles.  It is recommended that this be tracked separately from the main vehicle odometer.
