FAQS
Does the trip odometer reset itself on a chevy equinox?
No, the trip odometer on a Chevy Equinox does not reset itself automatically. The trip odometer is a feature that allows you to measure the distance traveled during a specific trip or period of time, and it must be manually reset by the driver.
What does resetting the trip odometer do?
Resetting the trip odometer on a vehicle sets the distance traveled back to zero. This can be useful for keeping track of the distance traveled during a specific trip or period of time, such as a daily commute or a road trip.
By resetting the trip odometer, you can easily monitor the distance traveled for that particular trip or period without having to manually calculate the distance. Additionally, some drivers use the trip odometer to track the fuel efficiency of their vehicle by resetting it after a fill-up and comparing the distance traveled to the amount of fuel consumed.
My Equinox is a 2014 and neither Trip 1 or Trip 2 will reset. Never had this problem before.
