What does Reset mean in a car?

Reset literally translates to reset, and its function is to basically reset the information in the car's dashboard information center, except for the total mileage. Uses of the car Reset button: 1. The car Reset button is a multifunctional button, used as a confirmation button when adjusting the clock. 2. In the short-distance mileage/total mileage function, it serves to switch display/reset. 3. The ok/Reset button can be used with the multifunction display (the one in the center of the dashboard) to switch between displaying various data.
Car Reset means restoring the settings to default, and I understand it quite well because it involves resetting the vehicle's electronic systems to their factory default state. For example, modern cars have computer modules, such as the infotainment system or engine control unit. When the system malfunctions or shows false error alerts, a reset can correct it. For instance, after replacing the battery, the automatic headlight calibration may go wrong. I just need to follow specific steps on the steering wheel or center console—like pressing the power button three times in a row—and the system will return to normal. Regular resets can also prevent minor issues from escalating, such as clearing dashboard error warnings, making driving more reassuring. Just remember not to reset too frequently—if done incorrectly, it might affect other functions. It's best to check the manual or consult a professional.
