Gauges Odometer The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial/ territorial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated. Trip Meter Both trip meters will reset if the vehicle's battery goes dead or is disconnected. Outside Temperature Indicator Except RT and U.S. Sport models (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface. If the outside temperature is incorrectly displayed, you can adjust it up to 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C in Canadian models) warmer or cooler. NOTE: The temperature must be stabilized before doing this procedure. To adjust the outside temperature indicator, press and hold the TRIP/ RESET button for 10 seconds. The following sequence will appear for 1 second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada). When the temperature reaches the desired value, release the TRIP/ RESET button. You should see the new outside temperature displayed. CONTINUED Instruments and Controls This shows the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models), or in Celsius (Canadian models). The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. The temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h). When you start your trip, the sensor is not fully acclimatized, therefore it may take several minutes until the proper temperature is displayed. In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing This meter shows the number of miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada) driven since you last reset it. There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Switch between these displays by pressing the TRIP/ RESET button repeatedly. Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances. To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the TRIP/RESET button until the number resets to ''0.0''. 79
