How do I reset my Mazda 3 odometer?
I want to track how many miles I’m driving on my commute every day in the Mazda 3 I just bought. How do I reset my Mazda 3 odometer so the miles return to zero?

Your
Mazda 3
odometer measures how many miles your car has driven total since it left the assembly line. And it’s important information you’ll need for all sorts of reasons, including keeping track of your car’s maintenance, getting car insurance
, and much more.What you can reset is the car’s trip computer, which is similar to the odometer. This counts how many miles you’ve driven since you last reset the trip computer, and in most cars you can track two or more different trips at once. This means you might have 30,000 miles on the odometer, but only 100 miles on “Trip A” or “Trip B”.
On the dashboard near your Mazda 3’s odometer, you’ll see a small, long button that looks like a stick. If you press and release this button, you can switch between the two trips. If you press and hold this button, you’ll reset the trip that’s showing back to zero. This works in most cars, too!
