How to Check the Car's Odometer?

Method to check the car's odometer: The car odometer actually consists of two meters, one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The speedometer indicates the car's speed in kilometers per hour. The number before 'km' represents the total distance traveled in kilometers. Traditional speedometers are mechanical, with a typical mechanical odometer connected to a flexible shaft. Inside the flexible shaft is a steel cable, and the other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn rotates a magnet inside the odometer housing. The housing is connected to the pointer and, through a hairspring, sets the pointer at zero. The speed of the magnet's rotation causes changes in the size of the magnetic field, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer.
