How to switch back to total mileage from trip km?
3 Answers
Here are the steps to switch back from trip km to total mileage: 1. First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the engine; otherwise, the switch cannot be made. 2. Then, observe the dashboard and notice that it displays the trip mileage. 3. Next, press the cruise control on/off button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel to turn off cruise control. 4. Finally, press the OK button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel to switch the trip mileage to total mileage. Here are some related details: 1. The odometer can display both the total accumulated mileage and the single-trip mileage. It becomes operational when the ignition is turned on. The total accumulated mileage display mode can show a maximum distance of 999,999 km, while the single-trip mileage display mode can show up to 9999.9 km. 2. Briefly pressing the reset/adjustment button (set) allows you to toggle between the two mileage display modes. In single-trip mileage display mode, holding the reset/adjustment button (set) for more than two seconds will reset the single-trip mileage display to zero.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I know all the tricks about the dashboard. To switch the Trip KM back to the total mileage, it's basically done with that small button on the left side of the steering wheel—press it once to toggle the display. My old Toyota has a little black knob next to the odometer; press it down with a click to switch. Some newer cars like Volkswagen require navigating through the dashboard menu using steering wheel buttons. Important reminder: don't randomly press the reset button, as it will clear the trip mileage. I recommend checking it after each refuel to compare fuel consumption and switching back to total mileage on highways to keep track.
When I drove the Tesla Model 3, I also looked into this. Actually, touchscreen operation is more intuitive. Just swipe right on the instrument cluster display area, like swiping a smartphone screen, and you can directly select the total mileage display in the trip cards. For traditional models like Nissan's, you need to press and hold the knob on the right side of the instrument cluster for three seconds. If you really can't find it, checking the owner's manual in the glove box is always a safe bet. This little feature is particularly handy—I rely on it to calculate one-way distances during weekend road trips.
