Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new

Fuel Gage
United StatesCanada
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage shows about how much fuel
the vehicle has left in the fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.
The gage will first indicate empty
before the vehicle is out of fuel, but
the vehicle's fuel tank should be
filled soon. When the fuel tank is low on fuel,
the FUEL LEVEL LOW message
appears on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For more information
see
Fuel System Messages
on
page 5‑34.
Here are some situations that can
occur with the fuel gage. None of
these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
.At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gage
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gage
indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated the tank was
half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.The gage goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.

5-30 Instruments and Controls
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle's fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
may read one number, but if the
vehicle is driven on a freeway, the
number may change even though
the same amount of fuel is in the
fuel tank. This is because different
driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving.
Fuel range cannot be reset.
