The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial/
territorial regulations to disconnect,
reset, or alter the odometer with the
intent to change the number of miles
or kilometers indicated.This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Celsius (Canadian
models).
This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should be in
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the reading may reach near
the red mark. If it reaches the red
(Hot) mark, pull saf ely to the side of
the road. See page f or
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine’s cooling
system.

The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. Theref ore, the
temperature reading can be af f ected
by heat ref lection f rom the road
surf ace, engine heat, and the
exhaust f rom surrounding traf f ic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near f reezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
f orming on the road surf ace.
To adjust the outside temperature
display, press and hold the select/
reset knob f or 10 seconds. The
display changes as shown above.
Select the outside temperature
indicator by turning the select/reset
knob. The display begins to blink.

temperature. The f ollowing
sequence will appear f or each: 0, 1, 2,

or 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada). When it reaches the desired value,
push the select/reset knob to enter
the setting. You should see the new
