How to Check the Total Mileage on the Changan Benben?

Take the key and enter the driver's cabin, placing the key on the wireless charging spot for the phone. Press the car start button to power up the entire vehicle. After the vehicle is fully powered on, you will see the current total driving mileage, Trip Mileage 1, or Trip Mileage 2 displayed at the bottom left of the instrument screen. There is a round button at the top of the vehicle's steering handle. Press this button to switch between the mileage displays, which include three modes in total. When the fuel tank is full and you want to record the mileage at this fuel level, you can press the round button on the top of the steering handle to switch to Trip Mileage 1 or Trip Mileage 2.

I've driven the Changan Benben for several years and am very familiar with its operation. Once seated in the car, turn the key to start the engine, or simply press the button for keyless start. After the engine starts, check the instrument panel—that screen in front of the steering wheel—where a number is displayed in the center, labeled "ODO" or "Total Mileage," indicating the accumulated kilometers. Remember, a quick glance at startup helps you plan maintenance, such as changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers or inspecting brake pads at 100,000 kilometers. When selling a used car, buyers also focus on this number for valuation. Once you develop the habit, you'll find the instrument backlight particularly useful at night. If the number doesn't change or dims, it might indicate a minor issue—fix it early to prevent bigger problems. With high total mileage, pay attention to tire and chassis wear, and monitor them while driving for peace of mind.

Coming from a car repair background, I've worked with many Chang'an Benben models. Checking the total mileage is straightforward: after starting the engine, the dashboard automatically lights up—just look at the digital display area in the center, usually labeled "ODO," and read the kilometer value directly. The whole process requires no button presses, as it's clearly displayed by default. Regularly monitoring this reading helps prevent potential issues, such as faulty dashboard lights obscuring the display. At specific mileage points like 30,000 km, spark plugs must be replaced, as delaying maintenance increases wear risks. For used car transactions, authentic mileage ensures fair valuation and avoids scams. When tracking fuel efficiency, comparing mileage aids in accurate calculations. If abnormalities appear, promptly inspect wiring or sensors to maintain reading accuracy.

As a newbie who just bought a Changan Benben, I was curious about how to check the total mileage. It's simple: after starting the car, the dashboard lights up and a number appears—that's the accumulated mileage. It displays automatically upon startup, no buttons needed. I've developed a habit of recording it after each refueling; knowing the mileage helps save on fuel costs and schedule maintenance. Used cars with high mileage sell for less, so driving less is better. I always check it upon starting to avoid forgetting oil changes on long trips. Using an app to log it makes tracking changes easier and ensures the car stays in good condition.

Driving a Changan Benben for daily commute, checking the total mileage is my routine. As soon as the engine starts, the dashboard immediately displays the ODO number, allowing me to grasp the vehicle's condition at a glance. It helps me plan maintenance cycles, such as inspecting the suspension or changing transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers; low-mileage vehicles enjoy insurance discounts, and long-term monitoring prevents odometer tampering. Paying attention to the increasing numbers while driving helps avoid overloading, such as checking the cooling system after long-distance high-temperature driving. Developing the habit of confirming mileage at startup protects the vehicle investment, extends its lifespan, and ensures reliability and peace of mind.

After commuting with the Changan Benben for a long time, I discovered a trick for checking the total mileage. After starting the car, the ODO number is displayed in the center of the dashboard for easy reading. Don’t forget to regularly check if the dashboard backlight is functioning properly for convenient nighttime readings. This data helps you schedule services like changing brake fluid every 50,000 kilometers; higher mileage may indicate component aging, so timely maintenance is essential. Used car valuations rely on accurate records; developing a habit of glancing at the mileage upon startup prevents problem accumulation and ensures driving safety.
