Speedometer

hour and kilometers-per-hour.

The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has

fore, if the odometer reading is changed, during repair orreplacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading
before and after the service so that the correct mileage can
be determined.
The trip odometer shows individual trip mileage. To
switch from odometer to trip odometer, press and release
the Trip Odometer button. Press and release the Trip
button a second time to return to the odometer. While in
trip mode, press and hold the button for at least 1 second
to reset the trip odometer to zero.Door Unlocked, Door Ajar, Low Tire Warnings
