Speedometer and Odometer

The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer, located on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) display, shows how far the vehicle has been
driven, in either miles or kilometers. See DIC Controls
and Displays (Base Level DIC)
on page 3-49 or DIC
Controls and Displays (Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer)
on page 3-57 for more information.

If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD) the speed
will also be displayed on the HUD screen.

If a vehicle has to have a new odometer installed, a
new one can be set to the mileage total of the old
odometer, if that can be done. If it cannot, than 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.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer, located in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), tells how far the vehicle has driven since it
was last reset. The miles (kilometers) for two different
trips can be viewed. See DIC Controls and Displays
(Base Level DIC)
on page 3-49 or DIC Controls and
Displays (Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer)
on page 3-57
for more information on setting the trip odometer.

Tachometer

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