Speedometer with odometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.
The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models,
however, the odometer will show "miles".
Lower odometer
The lower odometer records the vehicle's total mileage.
Upper odometer (trip recorder)
The upper odometer shows the distance that has been travelled since the trip
recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of the
trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile. The upper
odometer can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button
