    Hello everyone .
    If someone know about the Freightliner Cascadia 2016 .
    I checked the mileage number by using the menu switch key until I found engine info option on the dashboard screen then click enter showing me 271k .
    But in the dashboard screen without using the menu option I see mileage number around 765 something very low
    so which one the right mileage number ?

    You can reset the menu option mileage. It is for trip and leg fuel economy measurements. It won't match your odometer, except in a brand new truck that has never had trip/leg mileage reset.

    Not trip meter dude ...
    the trip meter showing 717 and I can reset it to zero ...
    I'm talking about mileage the one showing all the time on the dashboard
    Right away when you put the key on
    It will come on the dashboard screen and no option to reset it
    And the other way to check the mileage
    You go to the menu switch and find engine info and click it the screen will show truck mileage and sure no option to reset it
    If you have Cascadia one go check and you will see

    This tow mileage number I have not the same

    Your engine or truck computer may have been serviced, or there might be a software gitch. I'd call your company and/or Freightliner and see if they are concerned.

    Press and hold the + button on the steering wheel or the menubutton on the dash and it should reset.

    I vaguely remember someone telling me once that the dash odometer can be configured to show trip mileage, but I have no idea how to make it happen, or revert it.

    If not that, it looks like you have a software glitch. Your dash odometer and your engine computer odometer are not matching up.


    I'd get with your maintenance people or Freightliner, or maybe even try googling it if your Google-## is strong.
