Speedometer

IMPORTANT: When replacing a speedometer or an odometer assembly, the law requires the odometer reading of the replacement unit to be set to register the same mileage as the prior odometer.

If the same mileage cannot be set, then the law requires the following actions to take place:
^ Set the replacement odometer at zero
^ Install a label on the driver's door frame showing the following information:
- The previous odometer reading
- The date of replacement

The total mileage odometer and the two trip odometers are incorporated into the speedometer (9). The speedometer, the total mileage odometer and the trip odometers are serviceable only as a unit.
