Speedometer

Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Odometer

The odometer is located in the message center. It registers the total
kilometers (miles) of the vehicle. Pressing the E/M control will alternate
between English (miles) and Metric (kilometers) measurements.

Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute.

Driving with your tachometer
pointer in the red zone may damage
the engine.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the area
between the “H” and “C”). If it
enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer to Engine
coolant
in the Maintenance and care chapter.
