How to Check the Total Mileage on RAV4?
2 Answers
There is a DISP button on the steering wheel that can switch the trip computer menu. Press and hold to reset the data. When pressing DISP, relevant data will continuously appear at the bottom right of the dashboard. The A and B contents represent the settable start and end mileage. When the mileage keeps increasing and pressing and holding DISP does not reset it to 0, this indicates the total mileage the car has traveled.
I remember when I first bought the RAV4, I was also curious about how to check the total mileage. It's actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat and start the engine, then the dashboard will light up. On the dashboard in front of the steering wheel, you can immediately spot the ODO characters—that's where the total mileage is displayed. Many new RAV4 models use an LCD screen, so you might need to press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch views. Checking the total mileage is super important because it's related to the car's maintenance intervals, such as the oil change cycle, which is based on mileage. If you can't find it, it might be because the screen is switched to other data like instant fuel consumption—just press the mode button a few times to switch back. Remember, don’t check it after turning off the engine, as the mileage won’t refresh then. Try it yourself, and you’ll get the hang of it.
