Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer, located on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display, shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles or kilometers. See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-45 for more information. If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD), the speed will also be displayed on the HUD screen. You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a new odometer installed. It the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer, than that will be done. If it can't, than it will be 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. Tachometer Trip Odometer The trip odometer, located in the Driver Information Center (DIC), tells you how far you have driven since you last reset it. You are able to see the miles (kilometers) for two different trips. See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-45 for more information on setting the trip odometer. The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Notice: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area, or engine damage may occur. 3-33
