Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph).
The vehicle's odometer works together with the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Trip A and Trip B can be set
on the odometer. See
“ Trip Information ” under DIC
Operation and Displays on page 4 ‑ 38 .
The vehicle does not have to be running to check the
odometer mileage. Simply open the driver's door and
the mileage briefly displays.
If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the
new one will be set to the correct total mileage of the
old odometer.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, the
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded warning area.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime sounds for
several seconds to remind a driver to fasten the safety
belt, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light
comes on and stays on
for several seconds, then
flashes for several more.
This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver
safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.
Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light
For vehicles equipped with the passenger safety belt
reminder light, several seconds after the engine is
started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind
the front passenger to buckle their safety belt. The
passenger safety belt light, located on the instrument
panel, comes on and stays on for several seconds and
then flashes for several more.
