Speedometer/Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kndh). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven in
either miles (used in the United States) or in kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
If your odometer fails and needs to be replaced, the
entire cluster needs to be replaced. Take your vehicle to
the dealer to have this done. The dealer will have the
new cluster odometer set to the mileage of the old
odometer/cluster if at all possible. But if it can’t, then
it’s 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.
SeasodTrip Mode
Press this button to display
It is also pressed to display the trip mileage (trip mode).
The mode switch is located
on the left side of the
instrument panel, next to the TRIP RESET button for
the trip odometer.

If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on after
you
start the engine, have the oil changed. The light may
indicate to change the oil sooner than suggested in your
maintenance schedule, depending on your driving patterns.
This light will come on when the system predicts that the
oil’s remaining useful life is almost up. It alerts you to
change the oil on a schedule consistent with your vehicle’s \
driving conditions. Therefore,
you should change your oil
at the intervals recommended in your maintenance
schedule or when the CHANGE
OIL light comes on,
whichever comes first. See “Engine Oil, When to Change”
and “Maintenance Schedule,” in the Index.
To reset the CHANGE
OIL light, see “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
Fuel Gr 2

Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
you
have left when the ignition
is on. When the indicator
nears EMPTY
(E), you still
have a little fuel left,
but
you should get more soon.
Here are some things owners ask about. All these
situations are normal and do not show
a problem with
your fuel gage:
At the service station, the pump shuts off before the
gage reads
FULL (F).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage
indicated.
For example, the gage may have indicated
the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more
or less than half
the tank’s capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn the corner or
speed
up.
