What does 'trip' mean on a car?
1 Answers
The 'trip' on a car refers to the trip mileage, measured in kilometers (KM), used to calculate the distance between two locations. It helps users track the kilometers traveled for each trip and can be reset to zero by long-pressing the clear button. Meaning of 'trip': Literally, 'trip' translates to 'journey.' Most cars come with a trip mileage function, and many car owners frequently use this feature. Button location: This function button is usually located on the multi-function steering wheel of the vehicle, while in some models, it may be placed on the left-hand side guardrail of the driver's seat. The method to activate and deactivate it is quite simple: before each trip, a short press of the button starts recording the vehicle's journey, and a long press resets the recorded trip data. 'Reset' translates to 'restore' in Chinese, and its function is to essentially reset the information on the car's dashboard network center, except for the total mileage. Car mileage can be divided into: trip mileage and total mileage. The trip mileage is indicated by 'trip,' while the total mileage is labeled as 'odometer.' These two metrics are also indicators of whether a car is new. The car odometer also includes two LCD digital display windows connected to the same signal source, showing the current trip mileage and the total mileage, respectively. The current trip mileage typically has four digits for short-term counting and can be reset, while the total mileage has six digits and cannot be reset. Currently, vehicle mileage counting can be displayed in three ways: TRIP A mileage, TRIP B mileage, and total mileage. The functions of A and B mileage are to record the driving distance in segments, allowing the owner to know the kilometers for a specific route and calculate average fuel consumption. The total mileage represents the distance traveled since the car was purchased and cannot be altered.
