What does 'trip' on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The 'trip' on the car dashboard refers to the short-distance mileage, also known as the partial mileage, which allows users to calculate the kilometers traveled for each trip. It can be reset to zero by long-pressing the clear button. In contrast, 'odo' stands for the total mileage, with its full forms being 'odograph' or 'odometer'. The total mileage cannot be reset. The smallest unit for the trip mileage is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is also the parameter provided by the manufacturer. This is calculated by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the actual distance traveled, i.e., fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals fuel consumption (liters) divided by distance traveled (kilometers) multiplied by 100.
