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. You may
wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new
odometer installed. If possible, the new one has to be set
to the same reading the old one had. If it can’t be, then
it’s set at zero and a label must be put on the driver’s
door to show the old mileage reading and when the new
odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
A trip odometer can tell how far you’ve driven since
you last set it back to zero. To reset it, push the RESET
button. The trip odometer is reset through the Driver
Information Center (DIC) if your vehicle is equipped
with this feature.
Tachometer
The tachometer tells you
how fast the engine is
running. It displays
engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per
minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded area, or engine damage may occur.
