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). However, a Canadian odometer will remain in metric units only. Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be done. If it can't, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when the new odometer was installed. If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may toggle the odometer to display either miles, available only in the United States, or kilometers. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-60. Trip Odometer In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster can also display a trip odometer. The display can be toggled between the odometer and the trip odometer by quickly pressing and releasing the trip/reset button located to the right of the temperature gage. The trip odometer will continue to keep track of miles or kilometers driven even if they are not currently displayed. A Canadian trip odometer will remain in metric units only. To reset the trip odometer to zero (0), push and hold the trip/reset button for at least one and a half seconds, but less than three seconds. The trip odometer that is showing in the display will be reset. 3-41
