What does tripkm mean?
2 Answers
tripkm refers to the mileage. It mainly indicates the mileage before the current stage is reset to zero. If you want to restart recording the mileage, press the trip button to reset the current stage to zero. The speedometer displays the vehicle's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour). The car odometer actually consists of two meters: one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The car odometer is usually located directly in front of the driver's position. Purpose of trip: It is generally used to record and calculate the actual fuel consumption of the vehicle, and can also serve as a record of the mileage for planned routes. How to calculate fuel consumption: During the first full refueling (note: it must be a full tank), simultaneously reset the trip mileage to zero, then drive normally to accumulate mileage. When refueling next time, the current mileage (referred to as B) will be the amount of fuel added next time (referred to as A, which must be a full tank). Then, the actual fuel consumption is calculated as the amount of fuel added A ÷ the current mileage B. Repeat this process for subsequent refuelings, and the more times you refuel, the more accurate the average actual fuel consumption calculation will be.
The tripkm is the trip kilometer display function in a car, which often appears on the dashboard while I'm driving, specifically recording the exact distance of each trip. For example, if I drive from home to the mall, I press the reset button before setting off, and then when I park at the destination, I check how much the number has increased to know how many kilometers this trip covered. This feature is particularly useful, especially when calculating fuel consumption; after filling up the tank, reset the tripkm, and after driving, combine it with the amount of fuel refilled to calculate how fuel-efficient or inefficient the car is. Moreover, it can also help plan travel time, such as during long-distance road trips, watching the number gradually increase to estimate how far it is to the destination. However, one must remember not to accidentally clear the total mileage—the total mileage should not be tampered with. Nowadays, many new cars also integrate digital displays and reminder functions, making it quite convenient.
