Odometer jumps ahead 153 miles....

Someone took your car out for a long ride? If that were the case, you should be raising h3ll.

Edit: are you sure you are looking at the same things? Example: first reading of mileage was Trip A, second reading was Odometer. Trip A may not have read same as odometer initially.

 

You are more than likely looking at fuel range, not odometer reading. Add more gas your fuel range will increase.

 

On our 2010 when you shut down the odometer displays, for about 30 seconds. This is regardless of what you had set when the car was on. Is this still the case?

 

Not sure what you are asking?

 

The multifunction display shows a number of different things. You cycle through them using the Mode and Trip buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. I suggest you press the Mode button, then cycle through with the Trip button. once you've seen the first set, press Mode again and cycle through the next set using Trip again. Some owners like to use the MTE (miles to empty) display to decide when to stop for fuel. Others use the Trip A display to keep an eye on the CONS number that shows average mpg between fill-ups and Trip B for an entire trip or vice-versa. Some like to watch the energy flow display, etc.

Do newer models still show this. I think I read else wise here, maybe.

If all years/models DO display odo number at shut down, that's a bullet proof method, to make sure you're seeing the right number.

 

Mendel, my 2014 still shows the odometer at shutdown, but the display doesn't stay on very long, so it's usefulness seems kind of limited. Either way though it can't hurt to cycle through the various displays to see what info is available.

 

As doubleDAZ explained, with taps of the trip button on steering wheel, you can cycle through the choices. Press-and-hold will reset the current trip (A ot B).

 

my wifes '13 hycam also flases the display for about a second after shut off. her '08 stayed on for 20-30 seconds.

 

Our 2011 flashes odometer reading for about a second at shutdown.

 

makes no sense whatsoever.

 

2010 definitely shows odometer value for longer than a flash, maybe 30 seconds. When filling up, I shut off the car, read the value, mutter it to myself. The act of saying it sort-of burns it into short term memory for the few minutes I'm doing the fill up. Then when I get back in I can write the odo value on the receipt, and I'm good to go for my spreadsheet calc and Fuelly. Well, except:

It used to work. Now the effing pumps up here require you to enter your bank pin number when you use a credit card. Once I get done entering that, the odo number's typically gone walky...

But yeah, anytime I shut down it's there for 30 seconds or so. Good for the mechanics I think.
