How to turn off the trip display on the Civic fuel gauge?
2 Answers
The trip display on the Civic fuel gauge cannot be turned off; 'trip' represents the mileage, and pressing the trip button will reset the mileage. The Civic is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with the following dimensions: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. The Civic is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
On the Civic, the small screen displaying the trip meter on the fuel gauge can have its distance numbers reset to zero if you want them to disappear. Having driven this car for several years, I know there's a Trip button on the right side of the steering wheel. A quick press switches between different display modes, like Trip A or Trip B, but holding it down for about 5 seconds resets the trip distance. I do this after every refuel to start calculating the mileage for a new journey. I find this feature quite practical—it’s not about turning something off but refreshing the record. While driving, I focus on the lights and safety systems rather than operating buttons. Additionally, the Civic’s dashboard design is clean and switches smoothly. Remember to operate it when parked to avoid distracted driving, as safety is paramount. I also make sure to check the tires and other components regularly.
