1. Speedometer•The Speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles
per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Odometer Display / Trip Odometer Display This
display indicates the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
NOTE:
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer
of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair tech-
nician 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.
2. Tachometer
•This gauge measures engine revolutions per minute
(RPM x 1000). Before the pointer reaches the red area,
ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.
3. Temperature Gauge •The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-
perature. Any reading within the normal range indi-
cates that the engine cooling system is operating
satisfactorily.
• The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-
perature when driving in hot weather or up moun-
tain grades. It should not be allowed to exceed the
upper limits of the normal operating range.

CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
“H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.4. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — If
Equipped / Odometer Display / Trip Odometer Dis-
play
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — If
Equipped
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea-
tures a driver-interactive display that is located in the
instrument cluster. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” in this section for further informa-
tion.
