Speedometer
WARNING
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
The speedometer registers miles per hour (U.S. models only), kilometers per hour (international models only) or is dimensioned in both mph and km/h for required markets.
Instrument backlighting activates after a slight delay. Changes to ambient lighting, such as going through a tunnel, may briefly change backlighting.
