With the digital and analog cluster, you can go back and
forth from English (miles) to metric (kilometers) by
pressing this button.
Speedometer ar Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). The
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory.

The fuel data panel tells you all you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
he1 remaining. The
RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip,
so the range is estimated
based on the recent fuel economy. Therefore,
the range
reading may change as your driving habits change. Going from city to highway driving may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon as possible.
