Odometer - how do I get it to read in tenths?

How do I get the main odometer to display the full mileage? The car only has "14 miles" according to the main odometer, but the trip odometer shows 14.7 miles - this has not been reset since the car came from Lordstown.

My Mustang GT's digital odometer displays the decimal, so how do I set it with the Cobalt? Or am I stuck with the full numbers?

I think you're stuck. I never reset my 2nd trip odometer, so I can see down to the tenth of a mile the age of the car if I'm curious.

You could do the math though. I wouldn't bother, but if someone really wanted to get down to the tenth... they could that way.

It rolls over. It will still correspond to your main odometer for the hundreds and fraction of a mile.
