transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining

very similar to it. It has indicator warning lights that
are explained on the following pages. Be sure to
read about them.
Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h). The odometer, located on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display, shows how
far the vehicle has been driven, in either miles or
kilometers. SeeDIC Controls and Displays
(Base Level DIC) on page 186orDIC Controls
and Displays (Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer) on
page 190for more information.
If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD) the
speed will also be displayed on the HUD screen.If a vehicle has to have a new odometer installed,
a new one can be set to the mileage total of
the old odometer, if that can be done. If it cannot,
than it will be 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.Trip Odometer
The trip odometer, located in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), tells how far the vehicle has
driven since it was last reset. The miles
(kilometers) for two different trips can be viewed.
SeeDIC Controls and Displays (Base Level
DIC) on page 186orDIC Controls and Displays
(Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer) on page 190for
more information on setting the trip odometer.
