What are BYD Mileage 1 and Mileage 2?
2 Answers
BYD Mileage 1 and Mileage 2 represent the commonly used and uncommonly used mileage of the vehicle. More details about car mileage are as follows: 1. Introduction: The car odometer displays the vehicle's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour). It consists of two meters: a speedometer and an odometer. It is generally located directly in front of the driver's position. Identification methods include determining wear and tear or checking the vehicle's maintenance records at a 4S store. 2. Principle: Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected to a flexible shaft containing a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable, which in turn rotates a magnet inside the odometer's housing. The housing is linked to the pointer and keeps it at zero via a hairspring. The speed of the magnet's rotation affects the magnetic field, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer.
On BYD vehicles, Trip A and Trip B are essentially two built-in trip counters, functioning like little assistants to help you record distances for different journeys. I find them very handy. I typically use Trip A to track short trips, like my weekly commute to work. I reset it to zero using the steering wheel buttons after each refueling to calculate the fuel consumption for that tank. Trip B, on the other hand, is for long-distance trips, such as family outings. I reset it to zero beforehand and check the total kilometers at the end. Both functions are clearly displayed on the dashboard and can be toggled and operated via buttons on the steering wheel, avoiding confusion from the overwhelming total mileage figure. I also use them to compare different driving habits: Trip A for city traffic jams and Trip B for smooth highway drives—the difference in fuel consumption is immediately obvious. I recommend owners explore these features more. They help you plan trips smarter and save on fuel, especially when combined with the average fuel consumption display. It makes driving more worry-free and economical, far more practical than just staring at the big screen data.
