How to Set Civic's Trip A and Trip B?
2 Answers
The method to set Civic's Trip A and Trip B is as follows: There is a black long lever on the instrument panel. Rotating it adjusts the screen brightness, and pressing it once switches between Trip A and Trip B. After pressing, the average fuel consumption is displayed. The car's fuel consumption can be directly shown on the instrument panel. Trip A refers to the fuel consumption generated during the current trip, while Trip B refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Taking the Civic 2021 HATCHBACK 220TURBO CVT New Sharp Control as an example: It is a compact car under Dongfeng Honda, with a length, width, and height of 4517mm, 1799mm, and 1434mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
I've also thought about the settings for Trip A and B in the Civic before, and they're actually quite practical. For example, I use Trip A to record my monthly commuting distance, and Trip B to track weekend road trips. To set it up, look for the TRIP button on the left side of the steering wheel—press it briefly to toggle between the odometer, Trip A, and Trip B. When the screen displays Trip A, press and hold the button for two seconds until you hear a beep, and it will reset to zero. The same operation applies to Trip B. This feature is especially useful for calculating fuel consumption. I reset Trip A every time I fill up the tank, and then check the distance traveled at the next refill to get an accurate fuel consumption reading. Just remember not to operate it while driving—it's safer to set it up when stopped at a red light. Honda's design is quite thoughtful, much more convenient than manual recording.
