manually setting the compass. The
user can set the zone and calibrate
the compass. This setting page is
only available on vehicles that are
equipped with Remote Compass

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in either kilometers
per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph).

read 999,999 if it is turned back.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, it must be set to the

be set at zero and a label must be
put on the driver door to show the
old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.

the vehicle has been driven since
