Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). See "SPEEDOMETER" under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-48 for more information. The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Your vehicle's odometer works together with the driver information center. You can set a Trip A and a Trip B odometer. See "Trip Fuel" under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-48 for more information. If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer. Engine Speed Limiter This feature prevents the engine from operating at too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine's rpms are too high, the throttle is closed to reduce speed. If this is not sufficient, then the fuel supply to the engine will be limited. When the rpms return to normal, the fuel supply will return to normal. This helps prevent damage to the engine. Safety Belt Reminders Safety Belt Reminder Light When the engine is started, 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. Tachometer This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). 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. 3-33
