UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 223 5. Tachometer The white area of the scale shows the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm x 1000) for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage. 6. Transmission Range Indicator This display indicator shows the automatic transmission gear selection. 7. Odometer/Trip Odometer A vacuum fluorescent display indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven. Also, the cluster will display, replacing the odometer/trip odometer, vehicle warning messages such as: door/deck/hatch/gate ajar and loose gas cap. Loose gas cap will be displayed from the Odometer/Trip Odometer on all models. NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the instrument cluster, all warnings including "door", "dECK", "hATCh", and "gATE" will only be displayed in the EVIC display. For additional information, refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center - If Equipped" in Section 3. 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. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. 8. Cruise Indicator - If Equipped This indicator shows that the Speed Control System is ON. (See page 189 for more information.) NOTE: The word "SET" will not illuminate when the Speed Control System is on. 4
