Odometer Mystery
 

I took this picture the day all the paperwork was finished and I was at the end of the Nissan dealer's driveway the day I bought my Z brand new. How can the odometer have less miles than the trip odometer?

ummm...

Were you drunk?

The odometer reads 121 and the trip meter reads 114.0

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA:icon18:

:iagree:

Go ahead and hold down that little black button for about 3 seconds.

Once it reads "0", grab the owners manual and start reading!

Haha goodluck!

100+ miles isn't brand new...to me at least.

No, the odometer is 12.1, not 121.
Am I the only one sober in this thread?

Nailzs, I hate to be this blunt, but the odo doesn't display tenths. onzedge is right. There's nothing wrong with your car.

epic fail?

So I passed 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 and then 121 miles twice? Yeah, OK :shakes head:

:confused:

Please revisit this topic when you are not high or drunk. I think then everything will make sense to you.

So you've seen 121 displayed on an odometer as 12 1? At least LOOK at the picture!

Why aren't you looking at the picture before you comment?

I did look at the picture and gave you my answer. Also, I am totally sober right now.

There is no apparent problem with your odometer. Drive it around a bit and check it out.

Where are you seeing the decimal point?

No need to be nasty, but if you're going to treat every person who responds to your question (a request for response, no?), like they're of sub par intelligence, then prepare for some crossfire.

The top number in the display is the odometer. The bottom number is a trip meter. The trip meter displays tenths, the odometer does not. Put your glasses back on, look for the decimal in the top number. If you see it, go get your prescription checked (have someone else drive), get some new glasses, and look for it again. There is no decimal in the odometer.

As far as hitting certain numbers twice, maybe you're tapping the trip meter button and toggling between A and B. Again, you might want to put your glasses on for this one too (above advice applies). The little LCD A or B denotes which one your'e looking at—both can be reset. If you've passed certain numbers twice, perhaps you've reset the trip meter without knowing it... based on the content of this thread, I wouldn't be surprised.

If you're interpreting a "12 1" as a 12.1, again, you're misinterpreting what the display is showing you. LCDs are just designed that way. Pull out an old school calculator—1's are just displayed on the right side of the fixed space for each character.

I'm not sure how else this can be explained. If you don't know how an odometer and trip meter work, I think you should just refer to your manual and refrain from embarrassing yourself on the Internet.

The gap between the 12 and 1.

That's just the way it displays the 1. A decimal point would look like it does on the trip meter. You might not want to be such a wiseass to people in response to your question, since you're 100% wrong.

:iagree:

:tup:

Looking at my odometer there's a gap between the 8 and 3 in 8374 miles so Nissan has a weird way to display 3 digit mileage. My bad. Maybe if the answers weren't "wiseass" I wouldn't have been, thank you.

A LCD can only display a number a certain way. You came in with a stupid question and got stupid answers. That's no reason to get bitchy.

This thread was very entertaining.

I enjoyed it.

It's like a slow news day on Fox or something. :icon14:

I fixed the odometer issue...

:facepalm:

Dammmm they tried selling a wacked out odometer. Nice try. :icon17:

Yes, entertaining indeed.

... or a regular day on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, ...etc... :tup:

:iagree:

Great thread. Nailszszs, we might have given àsshole replies, because this a REALLY noob thing to see. And if you drive for one mile, you should notice that the bottom is the trip meter with the tenths

Lmfao!! I'm drunk and enjoyed this very much
