Have you checked whether the cable underneath has popped out?

Remove the panel underneath the steering wheel.

No cable its electronic,, it is possible that the pointer can stick,, when you are driving give it a hard tap,, the needle can stick to the end stop pin

As Malcom said the signal to the speeometer is electronic not mechanical.

It's possible that the needle has stuck to the resting post (at zero).

As for the mileage readout, that would require a speed signal as well.

Tell me. I take it that this is a new problem. Is your car automatic? Has the gear change behaviour or quality changed at all recently? Are there any warning lights anywhere on the dashboard?

If the gearbox isn't sending a speed signal then there should be some warning lamps lit e.g. traction control.

Hi Chris, it's automatic, no any warning lights and no warning lamp lit

There is not much info around on this,,it is possible for the radio to kill the speed signal and the only way is to have the car checked to see where the speed signal stops
