How to Reset the Odometer on a Geely Emgrand?

[VanSophia]

First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to power on the vehicle; otherwise, the odometer cannot be reset. Then, locate the trip meter reset button at the lower right of the instrument panel. After hearing a beep sound, the trip meter will be reset. Next, press the RES resume button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel to confirm the successful reset of the trip meter.

I’ve been driving an Emgrand for five years, so I’m very familiar with resetting the odometer. The total mileage is legally protected and can’t be tampered with, so we can only reset the trip mileage. I reset it before every long trip: first, start the car and wait for the dashboard to light up, then use the scroll button on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the TRIP interface. Once the numbers are displayed, just press and hold the OK button for three seconds, and it resets immediately. If you have an older model without steering wheel buttons, don’t panic—there’s a small stick button at the bottom right of the dashboard. Adjust it to the trip mileage and hold it down. Remember, the operation must be done with the power on; the engine doesn’t need to be running. After resetting, it’s easy to calculate the fuel consumption for a single trip—I’ve found the margin of error doesn’t exceed 0.2 liters. Lastly, a reminder: don’t mess with the ODO total mileage; that thing can’t be reset at all.

Last week I just helped a friend reset the odometer on his Emgrand. It's actually very simple. There are only two steps to reset the trip meter: First, after powering on, press the toggle button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch the central display to show TRIP A or B, then press and hold the OK button until the numbers reset to zero - the process takes about three seconds. All new Emgrand models have steering wheel controls, while older models require using the physical buttons on the instrument cluster. Make sure to wait until the TRIP display appears before long-pressing, as pressing too briefly will just switch the interface. The total mileage ODO (in gray) cannot be modified as manufacturers keep backup data to prevent odometer tampering. I recommend performing this operation when the engine is cold for more stable operation, avoiding potential delays from the ECU. After successful reset, the display will flash once to confirm.

As a frequent construction site visitor driving an Emgrand, I reset the trip meter monthly to calculate fuel costs. Operation steps: After powering on the vehicle (without ignition), locate the TRIP display on the instrument panel, then press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds to clear. Button location varies by model: older versions have a black cylindrical button at the lower right of the instrument panel; newer models use the multifunction key area on the left side of the steering wheel (marked with OK). If long-press doesn't work, check if you're on the ODO (total mileage) interface—it cannot be reset. The trip meter auto-resets after 1000km, but manual clearing offers more flexibility. Recommended to reset immediately after maintenance for easier mileage tracking next service. Avoid operation while driving to prevent distraction.

The Emgrand odometer reset refers to the trip meter TRIP. The official manual states that it must be operated with the power in the ON position. From my experience, the most reliable method is: switch the steering wheel to the TRIP interface, hold down the OK button with your left hand for a count of three seconds, and release when you see the numbers flash. For the mechanical button version located on the right side of the instrument panel, ensure the interface is not showing the ODO total mileage before long-pressing. During reset, all trip data (including average fuel consumption) will be cleared, but the total mileage and fuel consumption records remain unaffected. I've noticed that in winter when temperatures are low, you may need to hold the button for an extra half second. If you make a mistake, don't panic—the worst-case scenario is just restarting the vehicle. Never believe online claims about pulling fuses to reset the total mileage, as it's both illegal and harmful to the vehicle's system.
