kilóméterzámláló

The "kilóméterzámláló," which translates from Hungarian to "kilometer counter," is a device used to measure and record the distance traveled by a vehicle. It is a type of odometer, a more general term that can refer to counters for other units of distance as well. In the context of vehicles, the kilóméterzámláló specifically tracks distance in kilometers.

This essential component of a vehicle's dashboard displays the total distance the vehicle has covered since its manufacture. The reading on the kilóméterzámláló is crucial for various purposes, including vehicle maintenance scheduling, determining resale value, and tracking fuel efficiency over time. Modern vehicles often feature digital kilóméterzámlálók, which are integrated into the electronic instrument cluster, while older vehicles typically have mechanical ones. The accuracy of the kilóméterzámláló is generally protected by law, and tampering with it is considered illegal in most jurisdictions. Its primary function is to provide an objective measure of a vehicle's usage.
