Everyone knows how important the instrument cluster is on any kind of vehicle because it contains all of the important instruments you need to look at depending on what you want to know regarding your vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that regard, there are plenty of different instruments that may be confusing for beginners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These instruments include the odometer, the speedometer, and the trip meter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are the differences between these instruments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A speedometer keeps track of the speed at which a car is moving at any given time. The odometer is the one responsible for keeping track of the vehicle\u2019s total distance traveled throughout its entire lifetime and is non-resettable. Whereas, a trip meter is similar to an odometer but it only counts the distance traveled between trips and is resettable to zero ahead of a new trip. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t
