hicle or to protect against injury during an acci-
dent. Remember, always wear seat belts.

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.
5. Odometer / Trip Odometer Display Area
• The odometer display shows the total distance the
vehicle has been driven. The trip odometer shows individual trip mileage. Refer to “Odometer/Trip
Odometer/ECO (Fuel Saver Indicator) Button” for
further information.
• 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 technician should leave the odometer
reading the same as it was before the repair or
service. If they 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.
