Turn on the ignition and use the main menu button to navigate to the mileage menu. There is an electronic display screen at the lower right corner of the dashboard, with visible numbers at the bottom of the screen. The number followed by the unit 'km' indicates the vehicle's current total mileage.

















When I first drove the Vezel, I also couldn't find the total mileage display. Later, I figured out it's actually super simple. After sitting in the driver's seat but before starting the engine, look at the digital area in the center of the instrument panel. If it's not showing the ODO number, find the row of buttons on the left side of the steering wheel - there's a toggle button with an arrow. Press it a few times to cycle through information like fuel consumption and trip distance. From my experience, pressing it 2-3 times usually switches to the total mileage, displayed in the lower right corner of the instrument panel marked as ODO. Remember never to operate it while driving - safety first. I recommend checking only at red lights or when parked. By the way, the total mileage is cumulative and won't reset, while the trip distance automatically resets after 1,000 km - this difference often confuses beginners.

I usually use the total mileage to schedule cycles for my Vezel, and the operation to retrieve it is quite simple. There's a button with a wavy line icon in the left control area of the steering wheel. Lightly pressing it will switch the display content on the instrument panel. For example, the first press shows instant fuel consumption, the next press displays Trip A, and continuing to press until you see the large number labeled ODO is the total mileage. I noticed that models after 2017 have clear markings on the button, while older models might require a few tries. Note that the instrument panel brightness slightly changes during switching, which can help confirm if the operation was successful. Additionally, the system automatically reverts to displaying the total mileage when restarting after turning off the engine, but while driving, it remains fixed on the current mode.

As a tech enthusiast, I've studied the HR-V's instrument cluster system. The key to adjusting the total mileage lies in the selector button behind the left side of the steering wheel - simply press downward to cycle through display modes. Typically, pressing the button five times will reliably switch to the ODO value, a universal operation across all trims. A little-known fact: some versions allow resetting the trip meter by holding the selector button for three seconds, though this has no effect on the total mileage. I'd advise owners against operating this while driving on bumpy roads to prevent accidental button presses. Through testing, I've noticed the total mileage display uses slightly larger font than the instant fuel consumption readout - this distinction serves as a quick visual identifier.
