chapter.
A small window under the speedometer is
used for the tripmeter and odometer.
The odometer records the distance
travelled since the vehicle was built, and
the tripmeter records the distance travelled
on a particular journey. The tripmeter can
keep a record of two different journeys at
the same time.
The tripmeter reset knob is located
at the lower right-hand side of the
speedometer dial.
With the ignition switched on, push the
reset knob to change the display between
ODD (odometer),
TRIP A and TRIP B. If
the reset knob is pressed for more than
one second, the tripmeter resets to zero.
Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
The red zone of the tachometer indicates
critical engine speed.
WARNING
Never operate the vehicle with the
tachometer needle in the red zone.
Continued operation with the tachometer
needle in the red zone will lead to serious
engine damage.
