23. Odometer Display/Trip Odometer Display Area

This display indicates the total distance the vehicle has

been driven.
NOTE:

U.S. Federal regulations require that upon trans-

fer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the pur-

chaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been

driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced,

the repair technician should leave the odometer reading

the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he

cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and

a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the

mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea

for you to make a record of the odometer reading before

the repair/service, so that you can be sure that it is

properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if

the odometer must be reset at zero.
