The odometer shows the total dis-
tance your car has been driven. It
displays in miles and kilometers.
It is illegal under U.S. f ederal law and
Canadian provincial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated.
The Display Change button switches
the speedometer reading between
miles per hour and kilometers per
hour. It also changes the odometer
and trip meters to read in miles or
kilometers correspondingly. To
change the readings, push the
Display Change button until the
display changes.
This shows your speed in miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour
(km/h). Odometer

This display shows the current, or
instantaneous fuel mileage you are
getting.The trip meters show the number of
miles or kilometers driven since you
last reset them.

and Trip B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two dif f erent distances. To change
the display to show Trip A, Trip B, or
the odometer, press the Trip button
repeatedly.To reset a trip meter, display it, then
press and hold the Trip button until
the numbers reset to 0.0.
You can turn off this display at any
time. See page . To change the meter reading in the
display, push the display change
button.
