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). Your odometer can be seen when the vehicle is running. To view it when the ignition is off, press the trip odometer button located near the display. The mileage will display for about 5 seconds. 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 The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since you last reset the trip odometer to zero. Your trip odometer can be seen when the vehicle is running. To view it when the ignition is off, press the trip odometer button located near the display. You will first see the total miles your vehicle has traveled. Press it again to see the mileage since the trip odometer was last reset. The display will show the mileage for about 5 seconds. The trip odometer reset button is located next to the odometer. By pressing the reset button, you can alternate between the season odometer and the trip odometer. To reset the trip odometer, press and hold the reset button for one to two seconds. 2-63
