Where is my Odometer

62374 Views 11 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  Topdog417
Hi, This may sound weird. I am not able to find an odometer reading on my Atlas. I can see 'miles from last gas fill', and 'miles since start', but I cannot find 'total miles on the car. I know it is somewhere there. But just can't find it.

It might sound stupid, but could anyone guide me to the screen?

Thank you in advance.

Turn off your cruise control and it will show up at the bottom left of the multi functional display in the middle of the dash. I was wondering the same thing when I first bought mine. :grin2:

It also shows when you first enter the vehicle (door opening event) before starting. :) I had the same concern when I first bought the car. I was like "how many freakin' miles are on this thing!?"

Thanks just got my
atlas spent three hours in the seat with the book

appreciate the answer!
Strange how something important like this was not considered in the design. If many ppl have to ask then it's a design issue.

But how often do we really need to see it when driving?
I had a 2021 Atlas Cross Sport for 11 months and then it was totalled by someone turning left in front of me when I was doing 70 kph (43 mph).
This vehicle is a TANK! Everything worked as it should. The airbags deployed; the crumple zone crumpled and the windshield didn't even get cracked. Three of us were just fine while the car was a wreck.

I called the dealership the next day and they happened to have the one I wanted in stock—2022. Thirteen hours the accident I bought it and drove it home 3 days later. I'm glad I didn't have to wait 8 months for another one.

Love this car!

Agreed on that, but have it as a value in trip settings (most of my other vehicles with digital displays, it would show if you flipped through trip settings.. ie, current trip, longer duration, and the odometer, aka forever), or vehicle status, or anywhere in settings. I also spent way to long trying to find it. I agree, it's poor design. Why would anyone think you need to disable cruise control to see the odometer. There should be another place it's visible if this is the case.

It's just that it's not a reading you need all the time. It's there when you open the door and if you need it enroute you just turn off the Cruise.
I have a 2021 se not digital dash and I can’t see it with cruise control off
