Speedometer
and
Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed in both
miles
per
hour
(mph)
and
kilometers
per
hour
(kmh).
Your

how
far your
vehicle
has
been
driven,
in
either
miles
(used
in the United
States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Press the E
M
(EnglisWMetric)
button
on
the left side of
the instrument

between
miles
and
kilometers.
Pressing
this

also
cycle
all other
displays
through
English
and
metric
units.
Your vehicle
has
a
tamper
resistant
odometer.
If
you
see
silver lines between the numbers,
you’ll
know
that
someone
has
probably
tried
to turn
it
back,
so
the
numbers
may
not be true.
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 it must
be.
But
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.
Trip
Odometer
Your trip
odometer
tells
how
far you
have
driven,
in
either miles
or
kilometers,
since
you
last
reset
it.
Press
the
E/M
(EnglisWMetric)
button
on
the
left side
of the instrument
cluster
to switch
the
display
between
miles
and
kilometers.
The trip odometer is displayed
by
pressing
the
TRIP
button. To reset it to zero,
press
TRIP
to display the trip
odometer,
then
hold
the
button
for about
three
seconds
until the display
resets.
Tachometer
The tachometer
displays
the engine
speed
in revolutions
per
minute
(rpm).
NOTICE:
~
~
~
~
Do
not
operate
the
engine
with
the
tachometer
in
the
red
area.
Engine
damage
may
occur.
