What does 0d0 mean on a car?

ODO on a car represents the total mileage of the vehicle. ODO is the abbreviation of the English word "odograph" (representing total mileage, automatic odometer). Corresponding to this is TRIP, which in English means short-distance mileage, also known as subtotal mileage, making it convenient for users to calculate the kilometers traveled for each trip, i.e., the distance recorded after manually resetting the odometer. Below are explanations of other automotive terms: 1. ECO: ECO indicates that the car has activated the energy-saving mode, which has little impact on the vehicle itself. The main principle is to comprehensively evaluate the automatic transmission gear, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature during driving, controlling the engine speed with appropriate gears, and finally calculating the optimal fuel amount by the computer to provide the engine for operation. The original design concept was based on environmental and economic considerations, aiming to save fuel. 2. PS: When the car dashboard displays PS, it indicates the steering wheel lock status, and the light disappears after starting. 3. AC: The AC button is the switch for the car air conditioning's cooling function, meaning that the air conditioning compressor will only work when this button is pressed, and the air blown out by the blower will be cold.
My friend asked me the same question last time when riding in my car. Actually, the 0d0 displayed on the dashboard is most likely the ODO total mileage, where the 'd' is actually a distorted display of the letter 'O'. Having driven for over a decade, I know how crucial the odometer reading is for every car - it's like the vehicle's ID number. During used car transactions, people always double-check this figure because odometer fraud is so common. I remember helping my niece check a used car last year that showed 80,000 km, but the maintenance records revealed it had already reached 120,000 km three years prior. So when you see ODO, don't just look at the number - you need to cross-reference it with maintenance records and interior wear conditions. This kind of fraud is much more subtle than old tricks like putting sugar in the gas tank.
