How to check the total mileage on the 10th-generation Accord?
2 Answers
The 10th-generation Accord's dashboard features a speedometer on the right and a tachometer on the left. The number before 'km' displayed between the speedometer and tachometer indicates the total mileage traveled. Below is relevant information about the 10th-generation Accord: 1. The Accord sedan's dashboard is equipped with a maintenance reminder light. When the odometer reaches 9600km-12000km and the ignition is turned on, the maintenance light illuminates for 2 seconds. If the owner fails to perform maintenance after exceeding 12000km, the maintenance light will flash continuously to remind the owner of timely servicing. 2. After maintenance, the odometer needs to be reset to zero. Turn on the ignition and press the reset button on the dashboard until the trip meter displays "0". It's important to remind owners not to reset the odometer prematurely due to the maintenance light being on before actual servicing, as this will make the accumulated mileage inaccurate and render the maintenance light's reminder function ineffective.
I've been driving for almost ten years, and recently when helping a friend buy a tenth-generation Accord, I personally checked the total mileage. It's quite simple—just turn the key to the start position or after ignition, and glance at the bottom of the instrument cluster display. There's usually a number showing the total kilometers, like 'ODO: 12345km'. Unlike the trip mileage, which requires pressing buttons on the steering wheel to toggle, the total mileage automatically appears. I suggest beginners not rush into driving but first sit down and familiarize themselves with the instrument panel functions—the total mileage is usually on the right side of the trip mileage, so don't mix them up. The total mileage accumulates over time and is practical for maintenance scheduling, like checking it before an oil change every 5,000 km. Overall, this generation of the Accord has a clean and straightforward interface, no unnecessary complications.
