Speedometer and Odometer

Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
Press the reset button, located on the instrument panel
cluster next to the trip odometer display, to toggle
between the trip odometer and the regular odometer.
Holding the reset button for approximately one second
while the trip odometer is displayed will reset it.
To display the odometer reading with the ignition off,
press the reset button.

Tachometer

Your tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
3-34

Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the engine is started, a chime will come on for
several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety
belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver's belt
is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will
come on.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
