Federal law makes it illegal to alter the odometer of any motor vehicle with the intent to change the number of miles indicated. Trip Meter The numbers on the trip meter indicate miles.

If the needle reaches the red line at " H " (Hot), pull safely off the road, stop the engine and check the coolant level in the reserve tank on the passenger side of the radiator under the hood.
