How to reset the vehicle trip?
2 Answers
There are two methods to reset the vehicle trip: 1. Press and hold the protruding small round button on the instrument panel to reset it to zero; 2. Remove the instrument panel, take off the upper cover of the instrument, remove the pointers for speed, fuel gauge, water temperature, and RPM, then use a flat-head screwdriver to adjust the mileage gear to reset it. The trip in a vehicle refers to the short-distance mileage, measured in kilometers, used to calculate the distance between two locations. Vehicle mileage can be divided into: short-distance mileage (trip) and total mileage (odometer). The symbol for short-distance mileage is trip, while the total mileage is odometer. These two data are also indicators to judge whether a vehicle is new.
Resetting the trip meter is quite simple, and I do it frequently. Usually, there's a button labeled 'trip' or odometer on the dashboard. After the car is parked, hold it down for a few seconds until the numbers reset to zero. I prefer to reset it after each refueling to track how far a full tank can take me and check if the fuel consumption is normal. Avoid doing this while driving, as it can be distracting and lead to accidents. I also pay attention to the vehicle type—some older cars have the button near the steering wheel, while newer models might have it in the infotainment screen menu under the settings option for resetting.
