How to switch to total mileage on Honda CRV?
2 Answers
The method to switch to total mileage on Honda CRV is as follows: 1. The instrument panel of Honda CRV actually consists of three parts: one is the speedometer, another is the odometer, and the last one is the tachometer; 2. Click the odometer, then click the switch button between total mileage and trip mileage to switch to total mileage. Below are the methods to reset the odometer on the car dashboard: 1. There is usually a switch button for total mileage and trip mileage on the dashboard. To reset the trip mileage, display the trip mileage and hold the switch button for 3 seconds. Total mileage cannot be reset, but auto parts stores can adjust the total mileage using instruments. 2. Car dashboards are increasingly electronic. Early mechanical odometers with flexible shafts have almost disappeared, replaced by electronic odometers and LCD screens. In the past, the odometer could be adjusted by turning digital gears. 3. Locate the position on the car's clutch housing (the position varies depending on the car): some are on the transmission or the driveshaft's odometer sensor plug, then gently pull it out by hand. 4. Insert the output plug of the mileage adjuster into the signal socket of the pulled-out sensor plug, and accurately insert the mileage adjuster into the cigarette lighter. 5. Total mileage itself cannot be reset, but trip mileage can be reset.
When driving my Honda CR-V, I often need to check the total mileage to track vehicle usage. It's quite simple—just press the small button located at the lower left of the steering wheel, typically the info button or the arrow key. Press it a few times to cycle through the dashboard display until the total mileage appears. Most CR-V models default to showing the total mileage, but if you're viewing Trip A or B, you'll need to press until it displays. Remember, the total mileage records the vehicle's overall distance traveled, unlike temporary trip meters, and it's particularly useful for tracking maintenance intervals, such as oil checks every 5,000 kilometers. Ensure the vehicle is in ignition but stationary when operating to avoid distractions while driving. If you're a beginner, the manual includes illustrated instructions—I recommend familiarizing yourself with the button locations first.
