The mileage of the BMW X3 is displayed by pressing the two buttons at the end of the turn signal lever. Select the top one and press it continuously to bring up the trip mileage. The specific methods are as follows: Reset: The instrument display is set to the simple mode, so the total mileage is not displayed. In this case, you can reset the mode on the central control screen to display the total mileage. Rotary Button: Press the BC button at the top of the left turn signal lever to select the display of the total mileage. It should be noted that the BMW X3 does not have a single trip mileage or a reset button, so the total mileage cannot be reset.

I've been driving my BMW X3 for a while now, and the total mileage is always visible at a glance on the instrument cluster. After starting the vehicle, the total kilometers are displayed directly in the center or near the bottom area of the dashboard, with fairly large font that's hard to miss. If you want to check the mileage for a single trip or other data, there's a BC button on the left side of the steering wheel—just press it lightly to cycle through different information. I find this design very convenient, as it eliminates the need to look down at the central display while driving, making it much safer. I usually use it to monitor fuel consumption and see how far I've traveled on a trip, which helps me plan maintenance in advance and makes upkeep more worry-free. In short, unless there are special settings, it lights up right there as soon as you start the car.

The BMW X3's mileage display is quite smart, appearing directly on the LCD screen of the instrument cluster. I'm accustomed to starting the engine, and after the dashboard's self-check, the total mileage pops up, usually positioned centered towards the bottom. To switch to other data, such as short trips or average speed, just use the BC button on the steering wheel—press it a few times to cycle through to the information you want to see. The system menu also allows for customization of what's displayed, but there's no need to fuss with it; the default settings are sufficient. The dashboard responds quickly, is clear and easy to understand, and with fewer complex operations, I think even beginners can get the hang of it without difficulty. During daily driving, keeping an eye on the mileage helps in knowing when to change the oil, preventing major issues with the car.

Checking mileage is crucial for safety, especially on the BMW X3. After starting the car, glance at the dashboard where the total kilometers are prominently displayed. I make it a habit to check this figure before each drive to ensure no abnormal changes—if it's higher, it signals maintenance time, so don't wait for a breakdown to act. The process is simple: just toggle the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel without navigating through menus. Maintaining this routine helps prevent unexpected issues, avoiding the risk of roadside breakdowns that can damage your vehicle and pose dangers. Remember to regularly log this data for better maintenance planning.

I've been driving the X3 for several years, and the mileage is always displayed directly on the dashboard. Just look at the middle part of the screen after starting the car. If you don't see it, the BC button might not have been pressed correctly, or the menu might be in hidden mode. In this case, holding the button for a few seconds can reset the display. I never manually adjust the settings as it's prone to errors. Regularly checking the mileage helps me keep an eye on fuel levels and component wear, such as replacing parts in time when the mileage gets high to avoid minor issues turning into major repairs. Developing this habit makes long-distance driving more reassuring.

Every time I start my BMW X3, the total mileage instantly pops up on the instrument cluster, prominently displayed at the center of the screen. I remember when I first got the car and wasn't familiar with it, I experimented with the BC button on the left side of the steering wheel. A light press switches the display to trip data, and another press brings back the total mileage. This thoughtful design eliminates the need to fiddle with the central console, allowing me to keep my eyes on the road while driving. I've now developed a habit of checking the mileage upon startup, combining it with the APP's maintenance records to ensure the car stays in top condition, saving me unnecessary trips to the repair shop. Over time, I've found this feature incredibly useful for estimating fuel expenses.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Teramont?

The method to turn off the auto start-stop function in the Teramont is: directly press the auto start-stop button, and the dashboard will indicate that the system is turned off. If you want to use this function again, press the button to turn it back on. The auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The working principle of the start-stop system is: when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts into neutral. The Teramont is a mid-to-large SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1773mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2980mm.

What does TCS displayed on the vehicle mean?

When TCS is displayed on the vehicle, it indicates a malfunction in the Traction Control System. Here are the relevant details: When the Traction Control System malfunctions, a diagnostic scanner should be used to read the specific fault code, and repairs should be carried out based on the fault code's indication. TCS, also known as the Traction Control System or Track Control System, consists of the following components: ECM (Engine Control Module), TCM (Transmission Control Module), TCS computer, ABS computer, and wheel speed sensors. The working principle of TCS is as follows: it relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheel speed is lower than that of the driving wheel. In such cases, it automatically adjusts ignition timing, reduces throttle opening, decreases throttle input, downshifts, or applies braking to the wheels to prevent wheel slip.

What to Do About Exhaust Pipe Resonance?

If the car's exhaust pipe exhibits resonance, it needs to be replaced immediately. Here is the relevant information: 1. The function of the car's exhaust pipe is to expel exhaust gases from the engine. The exhaust pipe consists of three sections: the header, the mid-pipe, and the tailpipe. The header is the exhaust manifold, the mid-pipe is the long tube under the chassis, and the tailpipe is the section near the rear bumper. 2. Modifying the mid-pipe and tailpipe of the exhaust can alter the sound but does not improve performance. The header of the exhaust pipe contains an important component—the catalytic converter—which reduces the levels of pollutants in the exhaust. Without the catalytic converter, the car's emissions would exceed standards, and the exhaust gases would emit a foul odor. 3. The exhaust manifold also has oxygen sensors—one in front of the catalytic converter and another behind the exhaust manifold.

What to Do When One Tire Has Low Pressure?

If one tire has low pressure and the vehicle can still be driven, proceed to the nearest tire repair shop for assistance. If the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, use a portable air pump to inflate the tire slightly, then visit a nearby repair shop or replace it with the spare tire before heading for repairs. Generally, it is recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month. Pay special attention to adjusting tire pressure during seasonal changes, with ideal times being November and May. In November, as winter approaches, tire pressure usually drops and should be slightly adjusted. In May, when temperatures start rising, check if the pressure is normal. Importantly, unless the tire pressure significantly exceeds the standard range, avoid deliberately reducing it.
