CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Tempera-
ture Warning Light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature Warning Light is
illuminated and you continue operating the vehicle,

components and cause a fire.25. Odometer / Trip Odometer / ECO (Fuel Saver
Indicator) Button
Changing the Display
Press this button to change the display from odometer to
either of the two trip odometer settings or the “ECO”
display. Trip A or Trip B will appear when in the trip
odometer mode. On vehicles equipped with a Base
Cluster, press and release it once again to display the
outside temperature. On vehicles equipped with a Mid
Line Cluster, press and release it once again to display the
outside temperature and compass heading in the screen
below the speedometer. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” for details.

or “Trip B.” Then push and hold the button (approxi-
mately two seconds) until the display resets to 0. The

26. 4WD Indicator — Vehicles Equipped with
Selec-TracII
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in
the full-time four-wheel drive auto mode. In
this mode, the system operates with a normal
torque split of 42% front axle and 58% rear axle.
It can redirect up to 100% of torque to the front or rear
axle, if necessary.
27. Odometer Display/Trip Odometer Display
The odometer display shows the total distance the ve-
hicle has been driven. The trip odometer shows indi-
vidual trip mileage. Refer to “Trip Odometer button” for
additional information.
NOTE: U.S. Federal regulations require that upon trans-
fer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the pur-
chaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been
driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced,
the repair technician should leave the odometer reading
the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and
a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the
mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea
for you to make a record of the odometer reading before
the repair/service, so that you can be sure that it is
properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if
the odometer must be reset at zero.

CHAngE OIL Message (Base And Mid Line Clusters
