2008 CR-V and towed miles

[lcsmith6922]

Just towed my new 2008 CR-V for the first time. Worked great but I noticed that it registered towed miles on the odometer. What did I do wrong. Had the key in the accessory position as the owners manual directs.

The odometer is digital and does not rack up miles in the Accessory position. I tow a 2007 CR-V (same as your 2008) and it does not rack up miles. It only counts miles in the Run position. I towed a 1999 CR-V for years and many of my friends two CR-Vs of various years and none of them count miles while towing.

If your does rack up miles in the Accessory position your CR-V has a problem and needs to be returned to the dealer for repairs.

Good luck.
