How to reset the trip?
2 Answers
trip reset methods are as follows: 1. Mechanical meter: (1) There is a protruding small round button on the dashboard. Press and hold this button for a while to reset the meter. (2) Remove the dashboard, take off the upper cover of the meter, and remove the pointers for speed, fuel gauge, water temperature, and RPM. Then use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust the mileage gear, which can roll back or reset. 2. Electronic meter: The mileage data is stored in an encrypted form on the chip of the dashboard. To reset, you need to clear the data storage location on the chip and then directly input the desired mileage data into the corresponding location on the chip. After reinstalling the chip into the dashboard, it will display the desired mileage. The simplest way to reset is to directly replace the dashboard with a new one.
I usually pay attention to fuel consumption when driving and reset the trip odometer after each refueling. The method is actually quite simple: after starting the vehicle, look at the small screen on the dashboard that displays the trip, and find the control stalk on the left or right side of the steering wheel. Some cars have physical buttons below the dashboard. Press and hold for about 3 seconds, then release when the numbers reset to zero. Different car models may have slight variations in operation. Japanese cars usually use the button on the end of the turn signal stalk, while German cars often have a dedicated trip computer button on the steering wheel. Many newer cars now also allow this operation through the infotainment screen menu—look for the trip data option in the vehicle settings. Be careful not to do this while driving; it's safer to handle it when parked.
