●an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
●two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to
zero, and the average speed tra-
veled during this time)
●a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled sin-
ce the fuel level warning light
