The odometer and the trip meters
use the same display. Switch these
displays by pressing the Select/
Reset knob.
The trip meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two dif f erent distances.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the Select/Reset
button until the number resets to‘‘0.0’’.
This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
of f the ignition.
The odometer shows the total dis-
tance your vehicle has been driven.
It measures miles in U.S. model and
kilometers in Canadian model.
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.
