How to Switch to Total Mileage on BYD Odometer?
4 Answers
Take the key and enter the driver's cabin, placing the key on the wireless charging pad for the phone. Press the car start button to power on the entire vehicle. After the vehicle is powered on, you will see the current total mileage, Trip A, or Trip B 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 total mileage, Trip A, and Trip B. When the fuel tank is full and you want to record the mileage for the current fuel level, press the round button on the steering lever to switch to Trip A or Trip B.
Switching the odometer display to show the total mileage on a BYD is actually quite simple. As a regular BYD driver, I start by turning on the engine after getting in the car. Then, I locate the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, usually arrow keys or a scroll wheel. Pressing them a few times brings up the dashboard menu where you can navigate to the mileage settings. Selecting the ODO mode displays the total mileage, which records the vehicle's lifetime kilometers—helpful for tracking maintenance schedules. For instance, when the car reaches tens of thousands of kilometers, it reminds me to change the oil or inspect the brake system. I recommend making these adjustments while parked to avoid distractions while driving. Maintaining this habit has helped me extend component lifespan, saving money and ensuring safety. Regularly checking the total mileage also aids in monitoring the vehicle's condition, preventing unexpected breakdowns.
The switching process of BYD's odometer relies on the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. I access the dashboard display menu via the left-side button, scroll through the options to locate the ODO indicator, and usually switch to total mileage display by long or short pressing. This feature is designed with great user-friendliness, as the total mileage data is stored in the vehicle's ECU and updated in real-time, minimizing errors. In contrast, the TRIP mode, which records single-trip distance, is more suitable for daily commutes. Mastering this small technique enhances driving efficiency, especially for monitoring vehicle wear during long-distance trips. For safety, operations should only be performed when the vehicle is stationary. Regularly checking the total mileage also helps in assessing engine maintenance needs, preventing potential issues from being overlooked at high mileage.
As a new driver, I was a bit confused when first operating the BYD odometer. Simply put: after starting the vehicle, locate the arrow button on the left side of the steering wheel. Press it to bring up the menu on the instrument panel, scroll to find the mileage option, then switch to ODO display to see the total mileage. Usually one press is enough, but if there's no response, try holding it for a few seconds. Avoid operating while driving to prevent distraction. The total mileage records how many kilometers the car has traveled, which is very useful for maintenance planning. Remember this feature is free to use and you can do it yourself without visiting a 4S shop.
