Instrument Cluster Odometer: Registers the total miles (kilometers) of the vehicle. Refer to Message center in this chapter on how to switch the display from Metric to English and the odometer to the speedometer. Trip odometer: See TRIP A/B under Message center in this chapter. Hour meter (if equipped): Your vehicle may be equipped with an hour meter to indicate how much time the vehicle is idling in Park or Neutral. The meter is incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Press and release the message center INFO button until "ENGINE IDLE 0 HOURS" appears in the display. Press the RESET button to reset. For every hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of approximately 33 miles (53 km) of driving. Using the combination of the vehicle odometer and hour meter allows the fleet manager to better determine when the oil needs to be changed. Tachometer: Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Driving with your tachometer pointer continuously at the top of the scale may damage the engine. 17 2011 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
