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).
However, a Canadian odometer will remain
in metric units only.

Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.

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 that will be done. 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.

If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver
Information Center (DIC), you may toggle the
odometer to display either miles, available only in
the United States, or kilometers. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on page 235.

Trip Odometer

In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster
can also display a trip odometer. The display can
be toggled between the odometer and the trip
odometer by quickly pressing and releasing the
trip/reset button located to the right of the
temperature gage. The trip odometer will continue
to keep track of miles or kilometers driven even if
they are not currently displayed. A Canadian trip
odometer will remain in metric units only. To reset
the trip odometer to zero (0), push and hold the
trip/reset button for at least one and a half seconds,
but less than three seconds. The trip odometer that
is showing in the display will be reset.
