Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). See
“SPEEDOMETER” under DIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-46 for more information.
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Your vehicle’s odometer works together
with the driver information center. You can set a
Trip A and a Trip B odometer. See “Trip Fuel” under
DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-46 for more
information.
If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed,
the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the
old odometer.
Tachometer
This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine speed from reaching
an unsafe level. If the level is too high, the throttle closes
or limits the fuel supply until the engine speed returns
to a safe level. Throttle operation and fuel supply returns
to normal when engine speed is lowered.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime sounds for
several seconds to remind the driver to fasten the
safety belt, unless the driver’s safety belt is already
buckled.
The driver safety belt light
comes on and stays on for
several seconds, then
flashes for several more.
This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s
safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.
