180 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL NOTE: You must apply the brakes before shifting from PARK. 14. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. 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. The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage. To switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and release the Trip Odometer button. To reset a trip odometer, display the desired trip odometer to be reset then push and hold the button until the display resets (approximately 2 seconds). Refer to "Trip Odometer Button" for additional information. Vehicle Warning Messages When the appropriate conditions exist, "door," "deck," "LoW TirE," "CHAngE OIL," "GASCAP" or "HOTOIL" will display in the odometer. NOTE: If the instrument cluster is equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), then all warnings including "Low Tire," "Door Ajar" and "Trunk Ajar" will only display in the EVIC. (Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in this section for specific messages). LoW TirE When the appropriate condition exists the odometer display will toggle between LoW and TirE for three cycles. HOTOIL When this message is displayed there is an engine over-temperature condition.
