Speedometer and Tamper Resistant Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be done. 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. If your vehicle has the optional driver information center (DIC), you may toggle the odometer to either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). See "Driver Information Center" in the Index. Dual Trip Odometers In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster can also display two separate trip odometers (designated by the letter "A" or "B" in the display window). The display can be toggled between the odometer and the trip odometers by quickly pressing and releasing the trip/reset button located to the right of the temperature gage. The display toggles once each time the trip/reset button is pressed for less than 1.5 seconds. The display toggles in the following sequence: Odometer - Trip Odometer A - Trip Odometer B. Each of the two trip odometers can be used to keep track of different trip distances (for example, the mileage of a long trip and the mileage driven on the current tank of fuel). The trip odometers will continue to keep track of miles (kilometers) driven even if they are not currently displayed. To reset the odometer to zero (0), push and hold the trip/reset button for at least 1.5 seconds, but less than 3 seconds. Only the trip odometer that is showing in the display will be reset. 2-85
