Display of ODO-meter during driving?

Does somebody know if there is way to display the ODO-meter during driving in the central instrument panel?
Until know I can only see it when I stopped driving at location of the automatic cruise control indications.
I want to see a dynamically updating ODO-meter persistant on the central display while driving.

In my VW, it’s not possible to have the odometer displayed in the instrument panel while using cruise control. If I switch off cruise control, the odometer is displayed.

Maybe it works the same way in the Cupra Leon?

The only way to do this whilst driving is to disconnect the cruise control using the switch on the steering wheel
OK, I will check that. Normally I have my ACC icon always displayed. I.e. in dimmed form in standby mode when I start and shutoff the car.
But it is really strange if you can only see the ODO-meter when the ACC is fully de-activated. I miss the ODO-meter when passing roadsigns indicating distances to specific location which I may not miss. E.g. distances to petrol stations, or motorway exits, etc.

Probably because the Odo is such a minimal information source it has to share space. If you need to see the miles go past then just put driving data since start in the centre, or distance travelled in one of the information panels.

I can confirm that indeed the ODO-meter remains visible as long as the ACC is switched off. The option of displaying distance travelled in an information panel is possible. I will see how usable it is, because normally I show other information there. Thanks for the help.
