Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets
you
see your speed
in
both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(kmlh).
Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).

Tamper-Resistant Odometer
Your odometer is tamper-resistant. The odometer will
show silver lines between the numbers
if
someone tries
to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. Laws vary as to the procedure
that must be followed,
so
check with your state or
provincial vehicle registration
office.
But generally, if
the new odometer can be set to the mileage total of the
old odometer, then it must be. But
if
it can’t, then it’s 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
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since
you
last set the trip odometer to zero.
To
reset the trip odometer, fully press the reset button
located near the trip odometer readout.
If
the reset
button
is
not fully pressed, the trip Odometer may not
go
all the way back to zero. If it doesn’t, you may have to
press the reset button again
to
reset the readout to zero.
Tachometer
Your tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
