TRIP on a car represents the trip mileage, which is convenient for users to calculate the kilometers of each trip. It can be reset to zero by long-pressing the clear button. The minimum unit of trip mileage TRIP is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is to divide the actual fuel consumption by the actual mileage traveled. In contrast, ODO stands for the total mileage, which cannot be reset. The car's RESET and TRIP buttons are generally located on the multifunction steering wheel, and some models may place them on the left side of the driver's seat, but the positions vary. RESET literally translates to reset, and its function is basically to reset the information in the car's dashboard information center, except for the total mileage.

What is the Expansion of the Variation Range of Engine Output Torque and Speed?

The functions of a transmission can be categorized into the following three types: 1. Speed and torque variation: To expand the range of torque and speed transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions. 2. Direction change: To enable the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotation direction. 3. Power interruption: Utilizing neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and the vehicle to stop briefly or coast. In off-road vehicles, to distribute the power output from the transmission to each drive axle, a transfer case is installed behind the transmission. The transfer case is also a gear transmission system, with its input shaft connected to the transmission's output shaft via a universal drive, and the output shafts connected to each drive axle through universal drives.
