Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Speedometer/Odometer/Trip Odometer
The speedometer measures the speed of the vehicle in km/h (mph). It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the transaxle output shaft.
The odometer measures in kilometers (miles) the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft.
The trip odometer measures the distance the vehicle has traveled since the odometer was last reset. It consists of an instrument cluster gage connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft. The trip odometer can be reset to zero at any time so that the driver can record the distance traveled from any starting point.
