Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The vehicle’s odometer works together with the
Driver Information Center (DIC). Trip A and Trip B can
be set on the odometer. See “Trip Information” under
DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-34.
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Open the driver’s door and the mileage
is briefly displayed.
If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the
new one is set to the correct mileage total of the old
odometer.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, the vehicle
could be damaged, and the damages would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area.
Safety Belt Reminders
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime sounds for several
seconds to remind a driver to fasten the safety belt,
unless the driver safety belt is already buckled.
The 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
safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor
the light comes on.
