4-15SpeedometerThe speedometer shows thevehicle's speed in both kilometersper hour (km/h) and miles per hour(mph).OdometerThe odometer shows how far thevehicle has been driven, in eitherkilometers or miles.This vehicle has a tamper-resistantodometer. If the vehicle needs a newodometer installed, the new one isset to the mileage of the oldodometer. If this is not possible, it isset at zero and a label is put on thedriver's door to show the old mileagereading.TachometerThe tachometer displays the enginespeed in revolutions per minute(rpm).Fuel GageWhen the ignition is on, the fuel gageindicates about how much fuel is leftin the tank.An arrow on the fuel gage indicatesthe side of the vehicle the fuel door ison.When the indicator nears empty, thelow fuel light comes on. There still isa little fuel left, but the vehicle shouldbe refueled soon.Here are four things that someowners ask about. None of theseshow a problem with the fuel gage:• At the service station, the fuelpump shuts off before the gagereads full.• It takes a little more or less fuel tofill up than the gage indicated. Forexample, the gage may haveindicated the tank was half full,but it actually took a little more orless than half the tank's capacityto fill the tank.• The gage moves a little whileturning a corner or speeding up.• The gage takes a few seconds tostabilize after the ignition is turnedon, and goes back to empty whenthe ignition is turned off.srx.book Page 15 Monday, June 8, 2009 8:28 AM
