What do the two mileage readings on a Mercedes-Benz dashboard represent?
1 Answers
One is the total mileage, and the other is the trip mileage. Difference introduction: The two odometer digits on the dashboard appear as one long and one short code. The long digit represents the total mileage, which cannot be manually altered and only increases as the vehicle is driven. The short code can be manually reset and is primarily used for measuring kilometer distances. Vehicle odometer principle: The vehicle odometer is a digital display instrument. It operates through the engagement of the electronic counter drum wheel's rotating gear shaft with the worm gear on the speedometer's rotating shaft, causing the counter drum wheel to rotate. Its advantage is that when the upper-level drum wheel completes one full rotation, the lower-level drum wheel turns 1/10 of a rotation.
