What does the trip button mean?

Trip button, the original English meaning is mileage or journey, which is actually related to this. The Trip button can be used to switch between information such as average speed, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, remaining fuel range, and the recently traveled short distance (within 0-999 kilometers). In addition, some models also have Trip-A and Trip-B buttons, which can separately record the mileage of journey A and journey B. Extended information is as follows: 1. START position: The starting position. When the key is turned to this position, the starter circuit is connected, which will drive the engine to operate and start. After releasing, the key will automatically return to the ON position. The START position is the engine starting position, and after starting, it will automatically return to the normal state, which is the ON position. 2. ON position: The power-on position. When the key is turned to this position, the entire vehicle's circuit is connected, and the system will perform necessary preparations and self-checks for starting the engine. The key will remain in this position during normal driving. During normal driving, the key is in the ON state, at which time all circuits of the vehicle are in working condition.
I noticed some novice car owners are unfamiliar with the trip button. Actually, it's a trip computer button used to reset the vehicle's current trip data. For example, after a long-distance drive, if you want to know how far you've traveled or how much fuel was consumed, just press the trip button to reset, and you can see the starting mileage of the new trip on the dashboard. At first, when I drove an old car, I also thought it was useless, but later I found it super practical—it can track average fuel consumption, helping you save money on gas; it can also record single-trip distances to avoid getting lost. Don't worry about pressing it by mistake—it's a non-critical function, usually located near the small screen, and simple to operate with just a press. Using it regularly to monitor data can help develop good driving habits and reduce fuel waste from sudden acceleration. Remember, its position may vary by car model, but the function is similar.
