First, there is a protruding small round button on the dashboard. Press and hold this button for a while to reset the dial, then remove the dashboard. After removing the dashboard, take off the upper cover of the instrument panel and remove the pointers for speed, fuel gauge, water temperature, and RPM. Then, use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust the odometer gear, which can be rolled back or reset to zero. If the odometer is a modern electronic one. At this point, reinstall the chip back into the instrument panel, and it will display the desired mileage. The simplest way to reset it to zero is to directly replace it with a new instrument panel.
I've been driving for years, and adjusting the Skoda fuel consumption display is actually quite simple, mainly through the steering wheel buttons. The specific steps are to press the MENU button on the right side of the steering wheel with your thumb to enter the main menu, then use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the driving information section. Here, find the fuel consumption display option, where you can choose to display either current fuel consumption or average fuel consumption mode. After setting, press OK to confirm and save. I recommend doing this while parked to avoid distractions while driving. The fuel consumption display is particularly useful for monitoring driving habits. For example, I've noticed that gently pressing the accelerator significantly reduces fuel consumption, saving me a lot of money on gas in the long run. The Skoda system is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive button controls in older models. Newer models like the Kodiaq also allow settings via the central touchscreen in the vehicle settings menu. Additionally, don’t forget to check the maintenance reminders regularly. If fuel consumption is abnormal, it might be necessary to check the engine status to ensure safe driving.
