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).
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer. The
digital odometer will read 999,999 if someone tries to
turn it back.
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. If
not, 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
Your trip odometer is located in the Driver Information
Center and shows how far your vehicle has been driven
since the trip odometer was last reset. For more
information see DIC Operation and Displays on
page 3-43.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows your engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated with the tachometer
in the solid red area, the vehicle could be damaged.
The damages would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not operate the engine in the solid
red area.
