ODO in a car represents the total mileage the vehicle has traveled. ODO is an abbreviation of the English word odograph (indicating total mileage, automatic odometer). In contrast, TRIP in the English word means short-distance mileage, also known as the trip mileage, which is convenient for users to calculate the kilometers traveled for each trip, i.e., the distance recorded after manually resetting the odometer. Below are the meanings 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 judge the gear of the automatic transmission, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature during driving, control the engine speed with reasonable gears, and finally, the computer calculates the optimal fuel amount to be supplied to the engine for operation. The original design concept was based on environmental and economic considerations to achieve fuel savings. 2. PS: The PS displayed on the car dashboard is the steering wheel lock indicator, and the steering wheel lock light disappears after starting the engine. 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.

Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be registered and filed within 10 days after the vehicle's color is altered. Precautions for changing vehicle color with a wrap: Before applying a wrap to change the vehicle's color, the owner must consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether this method of color change is permitted in the region. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be registered, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Documents required for applying to change the vehicle's body color: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Proof of identity and copies for the vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance.

According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa.

Other motor vehicles are prohibited from displaying, installing, or using markings, alarms, or signal lights that are specific to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles. According to Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if a vehicle's color is changed without proper registration, the traffic management department of the public security authority may issue a warning or impose a fine.
