What does the CLR button mean?
2 Answers
In a car, the CLR button is used to select a function or confirm a piece of information. Here are some related details about CLR: 1. Function: The trip computer displays the trip mileage, average speed, and average fuel consumption. If you press and hold the CLR button at the top of the control lever, a prompt tone will sound, and then the trip mileage and average speed will be reset, while the average fuel consumption will revert to the initial average. 2. Usage Method: Press the MENU button to enter the trip computer display settings. Three lines of code will appear, with the top line being one of the numbers 1, 2, or 3. Press the CLR button to enter the format selection interface, where two lines of code will appear. The bottom line corresponds to the first line of numbers from the previous interface. Turn the knob to select one of the numbers 1, 2, or 3, then press CLR again to save. Exit back to the three-line code interface, and press MENU to return to the trip computer display interface.
I use the CLR button in my car a lot—it basically means 'clear.' If I enter the wrong address in the navigation, pressing it immediately clears the input for a retry. When listening to the radio and selecting the wrong channel, one press cancels the selection—super convenient. In some cars, it also doubles as a back button in the settings menu, allowing you to return to the previous level if you select the wrong option. While there are minor differences between car models, the core function is always quick clearance of the current operation. At first, I completely overlooked this button, but now it’s become a frequently used feature, especially when driving—operating the screen is risky, so having a physical button is much safer. Remembering its location is essential!
