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 miles.

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. But if it cannot, 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 Odometers

The trip odometers can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.

The button located on the
right side of the instrument
panel cluster allows you
to switch between the
odometer and the two
trip odometers.

Press the button once to switch to TRIP A and again to
switch to TRIP B. To return the display to the odometer
reading, press the trip odometer button again.

To set the trip odometers to zero, press and hold
the button.

Tachometer

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

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