What do the two mileage readings on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
There are two mileage readings on the car dashboard: 1. Total mileage: Measured in kilometers, this cannot be reset. 2. Trip mileage: This can be manually reset by long-pressing the black cylindrical button on the dashboard. The total mileage of the vehicle normally cannot be reset. The following are the differences between the two types of car speedometers: 1. Mechanical odometer: The traditional purely mechanical instrument, which uses a flexible shaft connected to the output shaft of the transmission at one end and to the odometer at the other. 2. Electronic instrument: It generally has a speed sensor installed on the output shaft of the transmission or on the wheel, using the read speed to calculate the vehicle speed and mileage through formulas embedded in the control module.
