Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your vehicle’s
speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far
your vehicle has been driven.
If your vehicle needs a new odometer installed,
the new one must be set to the mileage total of the
old odometer. If it cannot, then it is 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. See your dealer for more
information.
Trip Odometers
The trip odometers can tell you how far your
vehicle has been driven since you last set the trip
odometer to zero.
The button located on
the right side of the
instrument panel cluster
allows you to switch
between the odometer
and the two trip
odometers.
Press the button once to switch to TRIP A and
again to switch to TRIP B. To return the display to

Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. Here are some ways in which you can
help avoid distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, such as an audio system, CD
player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way
radio, make sure that it can be added by
checking with your dealer. Also, check federal
rules covering mobile radio and telephone
units. If sound equipment can be added, it is
very important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment can interfere with the operation of
your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems
can interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added.

Radio with CD (Base Level)
The radio has a theft-deterrent feature. A red light
blinks while the engine is off to indicate the
radio is protected. It will not operate if it is installed
in a different vehicle.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System
(RDS). RDS features are available for use only on
FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specic
information from these stations and only works
when the information is available. In rare cases, a
radio station can broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters display instead of the
frequency. RDS stations can also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.
