trip meter
This term refers specifically to the resettable distance tracker, distinguishing it from the primary odometer which records the total lifetime mileage of a vehicle. It is used primarily for short-term logistics, such as calculating fuel economy or measuring the distance between two specific points.
In modern digital dashboards, this is often labeled as Trip A or Trip B, allowing drivers to track two different journeys simultaneously. It is a technical term used in automotive contexts and is neither formal nor slang, but rather a standard descriptive label for a vehicle component.
