The odometer shows the total dis- tance your car 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.

BUTTO N
The trip meter and the outside temperature indicator use the samedisplay. To switch the display
between the trip meter and the outside temperature, press the
Select button. When you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II), what you
last selected is displayed.
Trip Meter
The trip 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 theseand the outside temperature display
by pressing the Select 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 the Reset button until you
hear a beep. Both trip meters will re- set if the car's battery goes dead or
is disconnected.
