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 or kilometers.
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
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. But if it cannot, 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

A trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last set it to zero. See Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-48 for information on resetting
the trip odometer.

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.
