What does tripreset mean in Nissan?
2 Answers
tripreset means trip mileage reset. Detailed explanation: "trip" refers to the trip mileage, or can be understood as a single trip toggle button, which displays the mileage traveled for each trip on the instrument panel. "Reset" means to reset, with the purpose of clearing and resetting the mileage traveled for a single trip. Definition of mileage: The car's mileage starts counting from zero when it leaves the factory, and there are at least two mileage readings. One is the total mileage, which is the total distance traveled from the factory to the present, and it will always increase under any circumstances, never decrease. The other is the trip mileage, which can be reset midway, and many car owners use it to calculate how many miles a tank of fuel can travel.
I particularly enjoy using the trip reset function when driving my Nissan. It's essentially the TRIP button on the instrument cluster. Before every long trip, I press it to separately record the mileage and fuel consumption data for that specific journey. For instance, when driving from Shanghai to Hangzhou, if I want to check exactly how much fuel was consumed, I simply reset it at departure, and the data is clearly displayed upon arrival - extremely practical. Those trip recording apps on smartphones aren't as straightforward as this feature. When the AC is on or the car is fully loaded, the noticeable increase in fuel consumption becomes immediately apparent. This button is usually located to the right of the steering wheel - just press the small stalk to reset, much more convenient than navigating through menus on the center display.
