The speedometer shows the speed in miles per hour
(mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 4-46for more information.
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
This vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer. The
digital odometer will read 999,999 if it is turned back.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, if
possible, it must be set to the mileage total of the old
odometer. If that is not possible, then it is set at zero and
a label must be put on the driver’s door to show the
old mileage reading when the new odometer was
installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can show how far the vehicle has
been driven since the odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and reset through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Operation and

Here are four things that some owners ask about.
These are normal and do not indicate a problem with
the fuel gage:
•At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
•It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the fuel tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than half the fuel tank’s
capacity to fill it.
•The indicator moves a little when while turning a
corner or speeding up.
•The gage goes back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
