Introduction to Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz (a German luxury car brand) generally refers to Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz is a world-renowned luxury car brand. 2. Brand History of Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz is a top-tier luxury car brand globally, considered one of the most premium car brands in the world.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for five or six years. If you don't want the dashboard to always display the total mileage, it's quite simple: after starting the engine, don't rush to drive. Look at the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel—there's usually a scroll wheel or directional key. Press it to scroll to the settings menu, select the instrument display options, and find the display mode setting. Change it to TRIP A or TRIP B to show the trip mileage instead, which hides the total mileage and only displays the single-trip number on the screen. The operation varies slightly between models—for example, my older version adjusts it directly on the car, while newer models require going through the central screen menu. Keep in mind that the odometer is core vehicle data and should not be tampered with, as it could affect the car's value. I recommend switching only for short trips to avoid missing maintenance reminders. Overall, it's very convenient and helps you focus more on the road.
I'm quite familiar with Mercedes-Benz controls, and handling such display issues is not difficult. The total mileage is displayed by default, but if you want to hide it: after ignition, press the menu button on the steering wheel, enter the vehicle settings page, find 'Display & Lighting' or a similar option, select 'Personalized Display,' and switch to 'Trip Computer' or 'Custom View.' The specific path depends on the model. For example, the C-Class adjusts it via the steering wheel controls, while the GLC might require operation through the central touchscreen. Take your time and proceed step by step. By the way, hiding it can make the screen cleaner, but it doesn’t affect the background data recording. The mileage information is permanently stored in the car's computer—don’t try to tamper with it, as that could cause trouble. Regularly checking the total mileage is beneficial for vehicle maintenance.
I often ponder this issue when using my Mercedes. The method is to set the car's system not to display the total mileage: first start the car, use the steering wheel buttons to enter the menu, select the display mode and change it to the trip or similar option. It's simple and easy, just confirm each step to save the settings. Don't worry about missing mileage data, it's stored in the background. If you forget how to do it, check the user manual, which explains it in detail.
