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 or kilometers.
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
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 cannot, then it is 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
A trip odometer can tell you how far you have
driven since you last set it to zero. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on page 212 for
information on resetting the trip odometer.
Tachometer
The tachometer tells you how fast the engine is
running. It displays engine speed in thousands of
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime
will be provided for several seconds to remind
people to buckle their safety belts. The driver
safety belt light will also be provided and stay on
for several seconds, then it will flash for several
more. You should buckle your seat belt.
This chime and light will
be repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in motion.
If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor
the light will be provided.
