Odometer
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial/
territorial regulations to disconnect,
reset, or alter the odometer with the
intent to change the number of miles
or kilometers indicated.
Trip Meter
This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the TRIP/
RESET button repeatedly.
Each trip meter works independently,
so you can keep track of two
different distances. To reset a trip
meter, display it, and then press and
hold the TRIP/RESET button until
the number resets to ''0.0''.
Both trip meters will reset if the
vehicle's battery goes dead or is
disconnected.
Outside Temperature Indicator
Except RT models
This shows the outside temperature
in Fahrenheit (U.S. models), or in
Celsius (Canadian models).
The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. The temperature
reading can be affected by heat
reflection from the road surface,
engine heat, and the exhaust from
surrounding traffic. This can cause
an incorrect temperature reading
when your vehicle speed is under
19 mph (30 km/h). When you start
your trip, the sensor is not fully
acclimatized, therefore it may take
several minutes until the proper
temperature is displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing

(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C
±
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
The temperature must be

stabilized before doing this
procedure.
To adjust the outside temperature
indicator, press and hold the TRIP/
RESET button for 10 seconds. The
following sequence will appear for 1
second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
− − − 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3,
3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada).

When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the TRIP/
RESET button. You should see the
new outside temperature displayed.
