Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). See DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 211 for more information. Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer. The digital odometer will read 999,999 if someone tries to turn it back. 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 is 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 Your tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled. The safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will flash for several more. Trip Odometer The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven since you last reset it. The trip odometer is accessed and reset through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Operation and Displays on page 205 for more information. This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. 189
