It keeps track of how far you go on a tank of gas and can be reset every time the tank is refilled.
All newer vehicles have a combination electronic odometer/tripmeter - Odometer measures the total miles on the vehicle and the tripmeter measures the miles since the last time it was reset - used for logging trip distance, measuring mileage since last fuel stop to check mpg, and etc... There is a push button there somewhere on/at the dash that toggles the display between odometer/tripmeter - changing to the tripmeter display, and holding the pushbutton down will reset the tripmeter to O miles...
press reset for tripmeter for a few seconds

um....push the button ... um....push the button ...
the plastic gear in the cluster that drives the odometer and the tripmeter is probly broken ..
The tripmeter knob located near the odometer on the instrument panal can be rotated left or right to accomplish this.
Your tripmeter reset button twists, clockwise to make gauges brighter and counter-clockwise to make them more dim.
If you know where to change the odometer/tripmeter display... Instead of pushing that control, turn it counter-/clockwise to dim/brighten the dash lights.
