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.

Switching BYD's odometer to display total mileage requires prioritizing safety. I always perform this operation after parking to avoid distractions while driving. The method involves using the left steering wheel button to bring up the dashboard menu, locating the mileage option, and selecting the ODO mode to switch. The total mileage data intuitively displays the vehicle's overall driving distance, making it easier to track maintenance needs. In practice, combining this with other functions like fuel consumption statistics makes it even more useful. I believe this process reflects the humanized design of the vehicle, and doing it quickly at red lights doesn't disrupt driving rhythm. Developing a habit of regular checks aids in vehicle health management, making it both safe and practical.

When driving a BYD car daily, the odometer switch helps me optimize my trips. Operation method: After starting the car, use the left steering wheel button to bring up the dashboard settings, navigate to the ODO mode selection to display the total mileage. This function records long-term mileage, combined with vehicle condition monitoring such as battery or engine wear. I use it to plan maintenance intervals and save costs. The switching process takes only a few seconds and should not be done while driving to avoid danger. When the total mileage is high, pay attention to checking components to prevent failures, which is economical and environmentally friendly.
