How to switch back the VW trip meter?

Take the key and enter the driver's cabin, then place the key on the wireless charging pad for mobile phones. Press the car start button to power up the entire vehicle. After the vehicle is powered up, you will see the current total mileage, trip mileage 1, or trip mileage 2 displayed at the bottom left of the instrument screen. There is a round button at the top of the vehicle's steering lever. Press this button to switch between the trip mileage displays. There are three modes available for switching. When the fuel tank is full and you want to record the mileage at this fuel level, press the round button at the top of the steering lever to switch to trip mileage 1 or trip mileage 2.
Switching back to the Trip function on Volkswagen cars is usually quite simple. I drive a Volkswagen myself, and it can be done via the steering wheel buttons. On most models, you press the OK button or scroll the wheel on the steering wheel to cycle through the menu until the Trip display appears. Some cars have a button on the turn signal stalk—a light press can quickly switch it. Remember, the Trip function is very practical; it displays fuel consumption, distance, and travel time. Resetting it while driving helps monitor fuel-saving effects. If the switch feels unresponsive, dust might be stuck in the button—just use a hairdryer to blow it out or visit a service point for cleaning. It's advised not to operate it while driving to avoid distractions—safety first. Regular maintenance of the car's buttons can prevent oxidation issues.
