Downforce Posted September 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Well thanks to everyone who has offered an attempt. Hopefully for everyone that offered an answer there’s several more people just scratching their head that didn’t respond! It’s actually the symbol to tell you the distance since you started driving on the trip. I was personally shocked to have a trip recorded. So I guess 3 hours ago, old'un said: Range from start? Takes the honour And I hope this has been informative and entertaining and thanks to all contributions most of which were better than the actual answer D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the 1930’s there were millimetres fitted to cars. I suppose the symbol may be useful to some of the modern generation who never did sums at school.

My first car was a 1930s Morris Minor side valve and I can't remember having one. Edited September 9, 2023 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you it is another totally unnecessary add on because they can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was personally shocked to have a trip recorded. I don't think that is exactly correct. The circle with the line at the bottom means reset, so it's the distance since the trip computer was last reset. So nothing to be shocked about.
