Liquid crystal is used in the meter
panel. You may feel the indicators
appear slowly
in the low temperature.
Speedometer
This shows your speed in miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour
(km/h). Select
Button
The Select button switches the
speedometer reading between miles
per hour and kilometer per hour.
It
also changes the odometer and trip
meters to read in miles or kilometers
correspondingly. To change the
readings, push the Select button and
hold it until you
hear a beep.
Gauges
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine
speed
in revolutions per minute
(rpm). To protect the engine from
damage, never drive with the
tachometer reading in the red zone.
Temperature Gauge
This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should be
in
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the reading may reach near
the red mark.
If it reaches the red
mark, pull safely to the side of the
road.
Turn to page 223 for
instructions and precautions on
checking
the engine's cooling
system.

Gauges
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
It is most accurate when the car is on
level ground.
It may show slightly
more or less than the actual amount
when you are driving on curvy or
hilly roads.
48 Instruments and Controls
Odometer
The odometer shows the total dis­
tance your car has been driven.
It
displays in miles and kilometers.
It is illegal under U.S. federal law and
Canadian provincial regulations to
disconnect, reset,
or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles
or kilometers
indicated.
Trip Meter
This meter shows the number of
miles or kilometers driven since you
last reset it.
There are two trip meters, Trip A
and Trip
B. Switch between Trip A
and Trip B by pressing the
TRIP
button repeatedly. Each trip meter
works independently, so you can
keep track of two different distances.
To reset a trip meter, display it and
then press and hold
the TRIP button
until you
hear a beep and the
number resets to
0.0.
