Instruments and Controls
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new
one is set to the mileage of the old
odometer. If this is not possible, it is
set at zero and a label is put on the
driver's door to show the old
mileage reading.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).

At the gas station, the gas pump
shuts off before the gage
reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gage indicated.
For example, the gage might
have indicated the tank was half
full, but it actually took a little
more or less than half the tank's
capacity to fill the tank.
The gage moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
The gage does not go back to
empty when the ignition is

turned off.
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gage
United States
This gage shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gage pointer
moves into the red area, it means
that the engine coolant has
overheated. If the vehicle has been
operated under normal driving
