See Figure 1. The speedometer registers miles per hour (U.S. models only) or kilometers per hour (international models only) of forward speed. The odometer registers the number of miles/kilometers the vehicle has traveled.
The electronic speedometer has a single display window for both the odometer and trip-odometer.
