Speedometer<br />
The speedometer shows the<br />
vehicle's speed in either kilometers<br />
per hour (km/h) or miles per<br />
hour (mph).<br />
Odometer<br />
The odometer shows how far the<br />
vehicle has been driven, in either<br />
kilometers or miles.<br />
Trip Odometer<br />

the vehicle has been driven since<br />

Tachometer<br />
The tachometer displays the engine<br />
speed in revolutions per<br />
minute (rpm).<br />
For vehicles with the Stop/Start<br />
system, when the ignition is in ON/<br />
RUN, the tachometer indicates the<br />
vehicle status. When pointing to<br />
AUTO STOP, the engine is off but<br />
the vehicle is on and can move. The<br />
engine could auto start at any time.<br />
When the indicator points to OFF,<br />
the vehicle is off.<br />
When the engine is on, the<br />
tachometer will indicate the engine’s<br />
revolutions per minute (rpm). The<br />
tachometer may vary by several<br />
hundred rpm’s, during auto stop<br />
mode, when the engine is shutting<br />
off and restarting.<br />
A slight bump may be felt when the<br />
transmission is determining the<br />
most fuel efficient operating range.<br />
Caution<br />
If the engine is operated with the<br />
rpm’s in the warning area at the<br />
high end of the tachometer, the<br />
vehicle could be damaged, and<br />
the damage would not be covered<br />
by the vehicle warranty. Do not<br />
operate the engine with the rpm’s<br />
in the warning area.<br />

When the ignition is on, the fuel<br />
gauge shows how much fuel is left<br />
in the fuel tank. When the indicator<br />
nears empty, a message in the<br />
Driver Information Center (DIC)<br />
displays. See Fuel System<br />
Messages 0 119. The vehicle still<br />
has a little fuel left, but the vehicle<br />
should be fueled soon. An arrow on<br />
the fuel gauge indicates the side of<br />
the vehicle the fuel door is on.<br />
Here are four things that some<br />
