The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour
(mph) and kilometers per hour (kmh). 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 vehcle’s computer
has stored
the mileage in memory.

With the digital cluster, you
can go back and forth from
English (miles) to metric
(kilometers)
by pressing
this button.
For analog clusters, press the INFO button until

This feature prevents your vehicle from exceeding
speeds that the tires are not rated for. When this
happens, the engine’s
fuel supply is shut off. When the
vehicle speed
slows, the fuel supply will come on again. This gage
indicates the
engine speed
in revolutions
per minute (rprn).
eed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at too many
revolutions per minute (rprn). When the engine’s qrn are
critically high, the fuel supply to the engine is shut off. When
the engine speed slows, the fuel supply will come on again.
This helps prevent damage to the engine.
