Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Simply press the trip odometer button.
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’s 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.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To view the trip odometer, press the button near the
readout. To reset the trip odometer, hold the button
until it resets.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
On vehicles with a manual transmission, if you
operate the engine with the tachometer in the
shaded warning areas, your vehicle’s engine or
other parts of your vehicle could be damaged.
Damage to your engine or vehicle caused by
operating the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded warning areas isn’t covered by your
vehicle warranty. Don’t operate the tachometer
in the shaded warning areas.
