1. Speedometer
• Indicates vehicle speed.
2. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
• When the appropriate conditions exist, this display
shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) messages. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center" in "Understanding Your Instrument
Panel" for further information.
• Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Area
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 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.
• Shift Lever Status (PRND)
The shift lever status "P,R,N,D,1,2,3,4,5,6" are dis-
played indicating the shift lever position. Telltales
"1,2,3,4,5,6" indicate the manual mode has been
engaged and the gear selected is displayed. Refer to
"Six-Speed Automatic Transmission" in "Starting
And Operating" for further information on ERS.
3. 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.
