Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Area
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser
the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If
your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the
repair technician should leave the odometer reading
the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he
cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero,
and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating
what the mileage was before the repair or service. It is
a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer
reading before the repair/service, so that you can be
sure that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb
sticker is accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.

Gear Selector Status (PRND)
The gear selector status “P,R,N,D,1,2,3,4,5,6” is dis-
played indicating the gear selector position. Telltales
“1,2,3,4,5,6” indicate the manual mode has been en-
gaged and the gear selected is displayed. Refer to
“Automatic Manual Transmission” in “Starting And
Operating” for further information on ERS.
3. Tachometer
•
This gauge measures engine revolutions per minute
(RPM x 1000). Before the pointer reaches the higher
numbers, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine
damage.
4. Temperature Gauge
•
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera-
ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that
the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
•
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-
perature when driving in hot weather or up mountain
grades. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper
limits of the normal operating range.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for
service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look
under the hood yourself, see “Servicing And Mainte-
nance.” Follow the warnings under the Cooling System
Pressure Cap paragraph.
