Speedometer And Odometer; Safety Belt Reminders; Trip Odometer - Suzuki 2008 XL7 Owner's Manual

Speedometer and Odometer

Your speedometer lets you see your speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and kilome-
ters 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).
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odom-
eter. The digital odometer will read
999,999 if someone tries to turn it back.
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 it must be. If not,
then it is 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.

Trip Odometer

Your trip odometer is located in the Driver
Information Center and shows how far
your vehicle has been driven since the trip
odometer was last reset. For more infor-
mation refer to "DIC Operation and Dis-
plays" in this section.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows your engine speed
in revolutions per minute (rpm).
CAUTION
If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the solid red area, your
vehicle could be damaged. The dam-
ages would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not operate the engine
in the solid red area.
