odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven in
either miles (used in the United States) or in kilometers
(used in Canada).

ERROR, you'll know someone has probably tampered
with it and the numbers may not be accurate.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be done.
But if it can't, then it will be set at zero and a label must
be put on the driver's door to show the old mileage
reading when the new odometer was installed.

is pressed and released within 1.5 seconds. If the button is
