140 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS range (PRND21). If the PRNDL displays only the characters PRND21 (no boxes), have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 16. Trip Odometer The trip odometer shows individual trip mileage. To toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer, press the Odometer/Trip Odometer Button. To reset the Trip Odometer, press and hold the button while in trip mode, until the Trip Odometer resets. Also the cluster will display, replacing the odometer, vehicle warning messages such as: door ajar, low wash, No-fuse, and the outside temperature on vehicles that are not equipped with the Overhead Console with Compass/Temperature Mini-Trip Computer. For additional information, refer to "Compass/Temperature Mini-Trip Computer" in section 3. If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, GASCAP will be displayed in the instrument cluster. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the odometer reset button to turn the GASCAP message off. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. 17. Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined.
