Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h).
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 vehicle’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or
others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may
be
or is a
problem
with
one
of
your
vehicle’s functions.
As
you
will see in the details
on
the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working.
If
you
are
familiar with this section, you should not
be
alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you
know
when
there’s a problem with your vehicle,
When one
of
the warning lights comes
on
and stays on
when
you
are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about
it.
Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting
to
do repairs can
be
costly
--
and even
dangerous.
So
please get
to
know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system
that works along with the warning lights
and
gages. See
“Driver Information Center” in the Index.
