What do Trip A and Trip B mean?
2 Answers
A is the main odometer, which cannot be reset, while B is the trip odometer that can be reset and is used to calculate the distance between two locations. Trip A records the mileage of a specific route, and Trip B records the mileage for a full tank of fuel. How to use Trip A and Trip B: When departing from location A, reset one of the TRIP data to zero. Upon arriving at location B, check the data on TRIP to determine the distance between the two locations. To switch between TRIP A and TRIP B, press the TRIP button on the steering wheel—each press toggles between them. Holding the TRIP button down resets the currently displayed TRIP data to zero. For example, if TRIP B is displayed, holding the TRIP button resets TRIP B to zero while TRIP A remains unchanged. How to set Trip A and Trip B: Expand all. The button on the instrument panel is the reset button: it can toggle between the odometer (ODO), Trip A, and Trip B ("TRIP A/TRIP B"). It also displays current fuel consumption in L/100km, average fuel consumption (AVG), and remaining driving distance ("RANGE"). When on the odometer or average fuel consumption display page, holding the button resets the data. Tachometer: Displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Multi-information display: Provides the driver with various driving-related data. Speedometer and trip odometer reset button: Toggles trip information. Fuel gauge, outside temperature, odometer, and trip odometer display: Odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has traveled; trip odometer shows the distance traveled since the last reset. Gear and gear range: Displays the selected gear or gear range. Engine coolant temperature gauge: Shows the engine coolant temperature. DISP switch: Toggles driving information.
You know what? After driving for so many years, I've always found Trip A and Trip B to be super convenient. Trip A and Trip B are two independent trip counters in our cars, specifically designed to record short-distance travels. For example, I usually use Trip A to track my daily commute—I reset it every time I refuel, which helps me calculate fuel consumption. As for Trip B, I reserve it for longer trips, like weekend outings to the suburbs—I start it when I leave and reset it once I'm done. Both are displayed on the dashboard, and you can switch between them with just a button press. This feature not only saves time but also helps me understand my driving habits. For instance, if I often get stuck in traffic, an accurate trip counter can reveal if fuel consumption is higher than usual. Some newer cars even come with smart reminders that notify you when a certain distance is reached, suggesting maintenance—a thoughtful little tool. Overall, making good use of Trip A and Trip B can bring more order to your driving life and reduce unnecessary hassles. I highly recommend new drivers give it a try—once you get into the habit, you won't want to go without it.
