How to Check the Total Mileage on a Skoda Octavia?
2 Answers
To check the total mileage on a Skoda Octavia, follow these steps: Look at the lower middle part of the instrument panel. The method to reset the odometer is: 1. Press and hold the trip distance reset button; 2. Start the car and then release the trip distance reset button; 3. Press the minute button on the instrument panel until the mileage display appears on the screen; 4. Turn off the car and restart it to complete the reset. The Skoda Octavia is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4675mm, width 1814mm, height 1460mm, wheelbase 2686mm, fuel tank capacity 51 liters, and trunk capacity ranging from 590 to 1580 liters.
I've been driving my Octavia for several years, and checking the total mileage is a daily habit. When I sit in the driver's seat and turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, the dashboard lights up immediately. The central display or the area next to the speedometer clearly shows the total distance traveled, labeled as ODO. I always check this because it's linked to maintenance records, such as oil change intervals. Sometimes there's other information on the dashboard, so I use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel to switch and ensure the correct display is shown. Remember, the total mileage is different from the trip mileage—it doesn't reset automatically and is easy to find. Regular checks can also prevent odometer fraud, ensuring the accuracy of the actual driving data.
