Every other car I have owned (more than 20 of them) has either had the odometer built into the speedo, or displayed it on a digital screen. The total mileage of the car and the trip mileage are normally displayed at all times. On my 2024 VRS diesel hatch I cannot find how to display the odometer whilst driving, although the total mileage is displayed after I turn off the engine.  In lieu of trip mileage, I do get the distance covered "Since Start" in the driver display but not a dedicated mileage trip, which would be very useful to count up the mileage of a tour spread over several days.  Is there a way to do that, and to show total mileage? 

I think my enyaq is the same. I can only see total mileage when i turn it off.

 

But i can adjust the "long term" to nil which shows all the time.

 

 

Does the vrs have a long term, the superb does.

 

just checked octavia 2024 and it looks the same or similar

if you turn off lane assist AND cruise control you see on the odometer (on my Octy iV)

In mine, just turn off the ACC and total mileage is shown.

I will try that.  I routinely turn off Lane Assist but don't bother turning off ACC as I just have no use for cruise control except on a long journey.

In my Octavia and previous Passat the total miles driven is hidden when the cruise control is displayed.

Moving the ACC stalk fully away turns it off and then the total mileage is shown.
