Dear riders, do you often encounter such a problem: when driving, you suddenly want to know how fast you are driving, or how many kilometers you have run, but you find that you can't read the speedometer and odometer?Don't worry, today I will popularize how to read the speedometer and odometer of a car. After learning this, you will never be afraid of getting lost when driving in the future!
Speedometer: A speedometer is a gauge used to display the speed of a vehicle, usually located on the front or side of the steering wheel. On the speedometer, you can see a pointer that oscillates with the speed of the vehicle. Generally speaking, the unit of speedometer is kilometers per hour (km h), and the number pointed by the hand is the current speed.
However, it is important to note that the speedometer reading may be affected by some factors, such as the vehicle's tire pressure, wind resistance, etc. Therefore, the speedometer reading can only be used as a reference and cannot be relied upon.
Odometer: The odometer is a meter used to display the mileage of the vehicle, usually located in the ** position of the dashboard. There are two hands on the odometer, one for the total mileage and one for the short-haul mileage. Total mileage refers to the total mileage traveled from the time the vehicle leaves the factory to the present, and is measured in kilometers (km). Short-haul mileage refers to the number of miles traveled after each refueling or power outage.
There is also a certain error in the reading of the odometer, because different road conditions, driving habits, tire pressure and other factors will affect the reading of the odometer. However, the odometer can be used as a reference to help you understand how your vehicle is being used.
Based on the above, now you know how to read the speedometer and odometer of a car. In actual driving, there are many other factors that affect the performance and safety of the vehicle, such as driving habits, vehicle maintenance, etc. Therefore, as a responsible car owner, in addition to learning to read the meter, it is also necessary to maintain good driving habits and regular vehicle maintenance. Only in this way can you really understand your car and make it work better for you!
