Speedometer and
Odometer

The speedometer shows the
vehicle’s speed in both miles per
hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).

The odometer shows how far
the vehicle has been driven, in
either miles or kilometers.

If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, the new one is set to the
mileage total of the old odometer.
If it cannot, it will be 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. If the mileage is unknown,
the label should then indicate that the
previous mileage is unknown.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can record
the number of miles, used in the
United States, or kilometers, used in
Canada, traveled for up to two trips.

Cycle between the odometer and
trip odometers A and B by pressing
the reset button located in the
lower right area of the speedometer.
Press the reset button to tell how
many miles or kilometers have been
recorded on either Trip A or Trip B
since the trip odometer was last
set back to zero.

To reset each trip odometer to zero,
press and hold the reset button.
The reset button resets only the trip
odometer that is being displayed.
Each trip odometer must be reset
individually.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).

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 their
safety belt, unless it 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 safety belt remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is
in motion. If the driver safety belt
is already buckled, neither the
chime nor the light comes on.
