an odometer (which shows the to-
tal distance traveled)


two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to ze-
ro, and the average speed traveled
during this time)


a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)


a clock


an ambient temperature display


an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
TIP

For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in °F.


For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is dis-played in °C.
