METHOD FOR CALCULATING TRAVEL DISTANCE AND A VEHICLE UTILIZING THE SAME

A vehicle may include a cluster and an engine control unit (ECU), where the cluster may generate a travel distance signal that indicates a travel distance detected by a vehicle speed sensor, and the ECU may be configured to set a travel distance at the time of an immediately previous key-OFF as a current travel distance when the travel distance signal indicates the initial value at the time of an ignition-ON, and to set the temporary previous travel distance and the temporary current travel distance as a previous travel distance and the current travel distance, respectively, when a temporary previous travel distance prior to a current time point by a predetermined period and a temporary current travel distance at the current time point are greater than or equal to the set current travel distance.
