How to Check the Vehicle's Mileage?
2 Answers
Vehicle mileage can be viewed on the odometer, usually indicated by "ODO," with the value followed by the unit "km," representing the total distance the vehicle has traveled. This helps drivers know the distance traveled and can be used to calculate fuel costs, indirectly reflecting the vehicle's fuel efficiency. Vehicles can display both the small trip mileage and the total mileage. The trip mileage can be reset to zero, but for modern electronic dashboards, the total mileage cannot be reset. Methods to reset data: 1. On the average fuel consumption, driving time, or average speed page, press and hold the TRIP button to reset the relevant data; 2. To reset the trip mileage: On the range interface, press and hold the TRIP button to reset the trip mileage.
As a new driver, I didn't know how to check the mileage when I first bought my car. Later, I found it super simple: sit in the driver's seat, start the car, and look at the dashboard. There's a digital display called ODO which shows the total mileage. There might be a button or switch to let you toggle and see the TRIP mileage, which records the distance of a single drive. Mileage records how far the car has traveled, which is crucial for maintenance—like when it's close to 5,000 kilometers, it's time to change the oil. Make it a habit to check the dashboard regularly; don't wait until the numbers jump rapidly to pay attention. Some cars have LCD screens that make it easy to view information. Take a quick glance every time you refuel. Remember, the location might vary by car model, but it's generally behind the steering wheel—just an extra look at that easily overlooked spot can prevent maintenance delays, extend your car's lifespan, and save on repair costs.
