How to reset the vehicle trip?
2 Answers
Vehicle trip reset methods are: 1. Press and hold the small protruding button on the instrument panel to reset the dial; 2. Remove the instrument panel, take off the upper cover, remove the pointers for speed, fuel gauge, water temperature, and RPM, then use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the mileage gear for reset. The trip in a vehicle refers to the partial mileage, measured in kilometers, used to calculate the distance between two locations. Vehicle mileage can be divided into: partial mileage (trip) and total mileage (odometer), where the trip is marked as 'trip' and the total mileage as 'odometer'. These two data are also indicators to evaluate whether a car is new.
Hey, as an ordinary person who drives frequently, I think resetting the vehicle trip computer is quite simple. On most cars, you just need to locate the button labeled 'Trip' or with a related icon on the dashboard, hold it down for a few seconds, and the mileage and fuel consumption data will reset to zero. I used to do this often during long drives to track fuel consumption changes for each segment of the journey, especially after refueling to see the performance on the new stretch. Some older models might require using steering wheel buttons or navigating the settings menu, so I recommend checking the vehicle manual first to confirm the location and avoid accidentally pressing other functions. The reset operation is easy to do yourself—no professional knowledge needed—and it can help you develop a habit of tracking fuel consumption to save some money on gas. Regularly resetting also keeps the dashboard data clear and prevents confusion from affecting your judgment.
