Car reset refers to resetting the odometer mileage, clearing data, and zeroing out the trip computer display data. Holding it down for up to 3 seconds can clear the data. That is, when the ignition switch is turned off, average fuel consumption, average speed, etc. are stored and can be reset to zero via the RESET button on the stalk. The literal translation of Reset is reset, and its function is basically to reset the information in the car's dashboard information center, except for the total mileage. The car reset and trip buttons are basically located on the multifunction steering wheel, and some models will place them on the left side of the driver's seat, but the position is different, but their actual functions are the same. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. TRIP button: This button is a toggle button for selecting the vehicle mileage and electronic fuel consumption data recorded in the trip computer. It includes (accumulated driving time after refueling/accumulated driving mileage after refueling/remaining kilometers that can be driven with electronic fuel consumption, etc.). 2. RESET button: This button is used to clear the data when the corresponding data is switched to via the "TRIP" button. Implementing this function helps to re-examine whether the mileage status of the vehicle after refueling is complete.

I've driven various cars for many years, and the reset button on the wiper switch is a very practical feature. It's mainly used to reset the position of the wipers, especially when you install new wiper blades or perform maintenance, as the wiper arms may deviate from their original position. Pressing the reset button will automatically and slowly return the wipers to their initial settings. This ensures that the wipers tightly adhere to the windshield during the next wipe, preventing streaks or incomplete cleaning. Wiper blades are a crucial part of driving safety, particularly in rain or snow, as clear visibility helps avoid accidents. I recommend that drivers get into the habit of pressing the reset button after replacing wiper blades and checking the condition of the rubber strips for wear. Regular maintenance can also extend the lifespan of wiper blades, saving money and providing peace of mind. This feature is available in most modern cars, is simple to use, and requires no professional tools.
