Where's the trip odometer?

[tunkertrigger]

Hello, new owner of a nice 2018 Premier TD. I have one puzzling problem. There are no trip odometers where the manual and everybody else tells me they should be! I press the check mark on the right side of the steering wheel and it simply tells me the DEF level and then goes on to other stuff. In fact, I have no trip reset stem protruding from the DIC display as it also tells me I should have. Does anyone know if GM/Chevy just forgot to install it or did some 2018s not have it or is it just because it's a diesel? I can use the old fashioned method of calculating mileage but this was top of the line in its day! Anyone out there know anything about this or give a damn? The dealer doesn't even know! They tell me I may have to replace the control module for the electronics! And here I try to be a patriot and buy American. No wonder Honda, Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Mazda are selling more cars. Thanks for any help or advice.

I have a 2023 Equinox LT and you push the up or down buttons to scroll and there are two trip odometers trip 1 and trip 2. Since these are software functions and the car is 7 years old, and apparently you bought it used, any number of things could have happened to change the software, even the prior owner(s) doing modifications.
As far as sales of competing models to the Equinox, First quarter '25 US sales figures show the Toyota RAV4 far and away in first place... Honda CRV in second place and the Chevy Equinox in third place ahead of all other competitors in the class. Models selling less units than the Equinox are: Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Volkswagen and Nissan.
Lexus does not compete in a class with the Equinox.

I have a 2019 Premier 2.0T. Love it. Was a fleet vehicle, bought it from a Chevy dealer six months old with 14,000 miles. Has over 70,000 now.
There is a way to customize what appears on the listing. You'd be surprised all the stuff you can display.
It's buried in the settings.
I can do it, but I can't explain.
Ask local owners of same model. One will know.

You put 56,000 miles on your car in 6 months? Do you realize that there is an on/off switch on it ? Give it a rest once in a while !

In another thread where he mentioned the trip odometer missing, I posted a video showing how to select what you can see in the DIC display.
You have the option of Trip A not showing.

Ah, makes more sense. The cold weather is slowing down my brain.

Some People Drive a lot, Some People Don't. Kinda like Mounds and Almond Joy. Both Good.
I've had my "nox seven months and just hit 2,236 miles. But, then, I've driven a Tractor-Trailer over 2,000,000 miles and I've had enough. Just sick of it!

Is Tale O the Pup still open? Stumbled across this on the way to Lake Placid back in 2014, wouldn't mind doing that again. We had a Lobster bake for two that was awesome. Not cheap tho, but free entertainment helped LOL

I'm the guy with the 2018 'Nox Premier looking for the ethereal trip odometers. Thanks everyone for your tips. I discovered that GM hides DIC listed features in the Info pages of the display. Once I learned this I now have the A & B trip odometers in the display. I'm an mpg nut so like to keep track of that data especially with my diesel engine. You know that Progressive commercial where the irritating jerk is trying to keep you from turning into your parents? Well, he failed with me. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. If you watched the 500 race, my great niece was the cute gal who handed Palou his jug of milk!
