TACHOMETER
U.S. instrument
panel is shown.
Odometer/Trip Meter
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
regulations to disconnect, reset, or
alter the odometer with the intent to
change the number of miles or
kilometers indicated.

SPEEDOMETER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
ODOMETER/TRIP METER
The odometer and the trip meters
use the same display. Switch
between these displays by pressing
the Select/Reset knob repeatedly.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), the meter you last selected
is displayed.
The trip meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
FUEL GAUGE
SELECT/RESET KNOB
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. 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 Select/Reset
knob until the number resets to ''0.0''.
Both trip meters will reset if the
vehicle's battery goes dead or is
disconnected.
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
off the ignition.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
f uel level. Running out of f uel could
cause the engine to misf ire, damaging
the catalytic converter.
