What does the trip mean in Civic?

The trip in Civic refers to the partial odometer, which can randomly measure the mileage from point A to point B. In addition to calculating the distance in kilometers, it can also be reset. After recording a certain distance, if you want to recalculate the mileage, you just need to press the trip button to reset the partial odometer. The Civic is a compact car with body dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a curb weight of 1245kg. This car is equipped with a 1.0T and 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a CVT transmission.
I recently discovered this trip function when driving my friend's Honda Civic, and at first I thought it was some high-tech feature. Turns out, it's just for recording the mileage of each driving trip. For example, when driving from home to work in the morning, pressing the trip button on the steering wheel resets the counter, and the display shows how many kilometers you've traveled for that trip. It's different from the total mileage, which records the car's lifetime distance—trip only tracks individual journeys. This feature is quite handy, especially for someone like me who commutes dozens of kilometers daily, helping me track fuel consumption or distance without having to note it down. I also use it occasionally for short trips, like last weekend's barbecue outing, which showed a total of 45 kilometers—super convenient. If you're curious about how to use it, there's usually a small button or knob near the dashboard; just press or twist it.
