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 195.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows your engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).

Notice: If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the solid red area, your vehicle
could be damaged. The damages would
not be covered by your warranty. Do not
operate the engine in the solid red area.
