How to Check the Total Mileage on the 10th Generation Accord?

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. Below are the relevant details: 1. The Accord's dashboard is equipped with a maintenance reminder light. When the odometer reaches 9600km-12000km and the ignition is turned on, the maintenance light will illuminate for 2 seconds. If the owner fails to perform maintenance after exceeding 12000km, the maintenance light will flash continuously to remind the owner to service the vehicle promptly. 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". 3. The Accord's dashboard does not have a dedicated maintenance light, but the "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" indicator on the dashboard serves as a reminder. When the mileage approaches 12000km, this indicator will change from green to yellow. If maintenance is not performed after exceeding 12000km, the indicator will turn from yellow to red.

I usually drive a 10th-generation Accord, and checking the total mileage is actually quite simple—it's right on the instrument panel. Generally, after getting in the car and starting the engine, there's a small screen in the center or on the side of the instrument panel that usually displays the ODO reading, which is the total mileage. If your car has steering wheel control buttons, look for the left-side button and press it once or multiple times to toggle through the menu options until you find the trip information or ODO mode. This number is important because it records all the distance you've traveled, helping to remind you of maintenance schedules—for example, changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers. If you can't find it on your first try, remember not to get distracted while driving; pull over to a safe spot and try again. Don’t worry about it being complicated—you’ll get used to it after a few tries. I recommend making it a habit to glance at it every time before driving, as this helps spot any irregularities early.

When using my 10th-gen Accord, I found checking the total mileage incredibly convenient. The main display on the instrument panel automatically shows the ODO mileage (total kilometers) upon starting the car. If it doesn't appear, try rotating the knob on the left side of the steering wheel or pressing the directional buttons to scroll through options until you find the ODO entry. The whole process takes less than a minute, and I often check it quickly at red lights. Total mileage isn't just a number—it helps you understand your car's health. For example, if it jumps too quickly, it might indicate abnormal wear, signaling it's time for maintenance. I recommend new owners practice this a few times to get familiar; once you do, you can check it in seconds. Also, don't forget to keep the display clean, as dust can obstruct readability.

Finding the total mileage on a 10th-generation Accord is straightforward through the instrument cluster display system. Start the car, then look for a reading labeled ODO in the main instrument area - that's your total mileage. Most models have steering wheel buttons (typically on the left side) for menu navigation; simply scroll to locate the ODO display. Mileage readings are crucial for maintenance, such as triggering service reminders at specific intervals. If unsure, consult the owner's manual which contains illustrated step-by-step instructions.
