What does the term 'trip' mean in a car's context?
1 Answers
In a car, 'trip' refers to the trip mileage, also known as the short-distance mileage. This feature is designed to help drivers track the accumulated distance of a specific journey, and it can be reset. The trip mileage represents the distance traveled before the current reset. If you wish to start recording the mileage anew, you can reset it by holding down the reset button. The smallest unit for trip mileage is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is derived by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the distance traveled. The car's odometer displays the vehicle's speed and consists of two gauges: a speedometer and an odometer, typically located directly in front of the driver's position. Methods to verify the mileage include assessing wear and tear or checking the vehicle's maintenance records at a 4S shop.
