The 10th generation Accord features a digital instrument panel. The total mileage of the vehicle is displayed in the center of the panel, with the tachometer on the left and the speedometer on the right. The instrument panel also includes a maintenance light. When the odometer reaches between 9,600 km and 12,000 km and the ignition is turned on, the maintenance light will illuminate for 2 seconds. If the owner does not perform maintenance after exceeding 12,000 km, the maintenance light will continue to flash, reminding the owner to service the vehicle promptly. The 10th generation Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4,893 mm in length, 1,862 mm in width, and 1,449 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,830 mm.

I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for two years now, and the odometer reading is displayed right below the instrument cluster. Every time you start the car, you can directly see that quite eye-catching white number, which shows the ODO total mileage. If you want to check the trip mileage, have you tried those arrow buttons on the right side of the steering wheel? Press the left or right arrow keys to switch display modes—TRIP A or TRIP B shows the trip mileage for different periods. For example, I specifically used TRIP B to record the distance covered during this road trip. Press and hold the small black cylindrical button in the middle to reset the trip mileage. The design is quite handy; you can switch it with just a thumb flick while driving, without looking down too much, which would be dangerous.

The odometer display is no issue at all for Accord owners, as the rectangular screen in the center of the instrument cluster defaults to showing the total mileage. However, many don't realize it can toggle between three display modes: ODO shows the total mileage (never resets), while TRIP A/B function like temporary counters. The left and right arrow buttons on the right side of the steering wheel control the mode switching, with the instrument cluster text updating accordingly. If your car has hit 100,000 km, remember to change the transmission fluid as specified in the maintenance manual. I once accidentally held the reset button too long and cleared the trip mileage, but a quick double-tap easily switched it back.

Checking the mileage on the 10th-gen Accord is super easy. There are four small buttons in the multifunction area on the right side of the steering wheel. Use the left/right arrows to toggle through the dashboard displays - when you see 'ODO', that's the total vehicle mileage (this number is like the car's ID and can't be altered). The 'TRIP' display shows the trip mileage, which I reset every time I refuel to calculate fuel consumption. Pro tip: don't stare at the settings too long - this car's dashboard brightness auto-adjusts, and sudden brightening in tunnels might be dazzling.
