This meter displays the odometer when
the ignition switch is in the "LOCK (off)",
"Acc" or "ON" position.
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the "LOCK (off)" or "Acc"
position, the odometer/trip meter will light
up. If you do not press the trip knob within
5 seconds of illumination of the odometer/
trip meter, the odometer/trip meter will go
off.
The odometer/trip meter will also go off if
you open and close the driver's door
within 5 seconds of illumination of the
odometer/trip meter.
