In a 2014 Honda Accord, you can view total mileage and individual trip readings by using the instrument cluster’s odometer and trip meters. Cycle through the readings with the dashboard controls to see ODO, Trip A, and Trip B, and reset the trips if needed.
Where the mileage appears and what you can read
The Accord’s mileage readings live in the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. The primary reading is the odometer (total mileage). You can switch to Trip A and Trip B readings, which are resettable, to track distance for different trips. Some trims use the SEL/INFO control to cycle the display; others use a dedicated TRIP/RESET button on or near the gauge cluster.
How to view the ODO and Trip meters
Use the dashboard controls to toggle between the different mileage readings. The steps below apply to most 2014 Accords, though exact labels can vary by trim.
- Turn the ignition to the on or accessory position so the instrument cluster powers up.
- Locate the button that switches the display on the instrument cluster. It may be labeled TRIP, TRIP/RESET, or SEL/INFO (or you may use the steering-wheel controls if equipped).
- Press the button repeatedly to cycle through ODO (odometer), TRIP A, and TRIP B. The current reading will be shown on the digital display next to the speedometer.
- Note the reading you want: ODO for total miles, TRIP A or TRIP B for the resettable trip distances.
After using these steps, you’ll know your vehicle’s total mileage and the distance for any trip you’ve tracked. If you prefer metric units, you may be able to switch to kilometers via the vehicle’s display settings.
Resetting Trip A and Trip B
If you want to reset the trip meters to zero for a new trip, follow these steps. Resetting does not affect the odometer’s total mileage.
- Display the trip you want to reset (Trip A or Trip B) by cycling the display as described above.
- Press and hold the TRIP/RESET button (or the equivalent control on your trim) for about 2–3 seconds until the trip reading resets to zero.
- Repeat for the other trip meter if needed.
Trip meters are handy for tracking fuel economy or distance between fill-ups, while the odometer provides a permanent record of total mileage.
Switching between miles and kilometers
You can view distance in miles or kilometers depending on your market and configuration. To switch units, access the vehicle’s display settings and select the preferred unit. The exact path can vary by trim, but typically involves the SEL/INFO or Settings button on the instrument cluster or driver information display, then selecting Unit or Display Units and choosing miles (mi) or kilometers (km).
- With the ignition on, press the display control button to enter the settings menu.
- Navigate to the Units or Display Units option.
- Select the desired unit (mi or km) and confirm.
- Exit the menu and verify the reading on the odometer or trip display reflects the chosen unit.
Once set, the display will consistently show your mileage in the chosen unit across ODO and Trip readings.
Summary
For a 2014 Honda Accord, total mileage (odometer) and two resettable trip meters (Trip A and Trip B) are available on the instrument cluster. Use the dedicated display button to cycle readings, reset trips as needed, and, if desired, switch distance units in the vehicle’s display settings. This makes it easy to track overall mileage and monitor trip distances without any special tools.
