Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper
-
resistant odometer.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If possible, the new one has to
be set to the same reading the old one had. If it can’t be,
then it’s set at zero and a label must be put on the
driver’s door to show the old mileage reading and when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
A trip odometer can tell how far you’ve driven since
you last set it back to zero. To reset it, push the
RESET button. The trip odometer is reset through the
Driver Information Center (DIC) if your vehicle is
equipped with this feature.
Tachometer
The tachometer tells you
how fast the engine is
running. It displays engine
speed in thousands
of revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.
