driver. With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and
the key removed, for vehicles with mechanical key),

viewing, and display the total miles or kilometers in the
odometer. Your instrument cluster display is designed
to display important information about your vehicle’s
systems and features. Using a driver interactive display
located on the instrument panel, your instrument clus-
ter display can show you how systems are working and
give you warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel
mounted controls allow you to scroll through and enter
