Speedometer and Odometer

The speedometer shows the vehicle's speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can show how far the vehicle has
been driven since the trip odometer was last set to zero.
Press the reset button, located on the instrument
panel cluster next to the trip odometer display, to toggle
between the trip odometer and the regular odometer.
Holding the reset button for approximately one second
while the trip odometer is displayed resets it.
To display the odometer reading with the ignition off,

per minute (rpm).

Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the engine is started, a chime sounds for
several seconds to remind a driver to fasten the safety
belt, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled.
This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver safety
belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light
comes on.
Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light
Several seconds after the engine is started, a chime
sounds for several seconds to remind the front passenger
to buckle their safety belt. This only occurs if the
passenger airbag is enabled. See Passenger Sensing
System on page 1-90 for more information. The
passenger safety belt light, located on the instrument
panel, comes on and stays on for several seconds and
then flashes for several more.
