Odometer: Description and Operation
SPEEDOMETER / ODOMETER / TRIP ODOMETER DESCRIPTIONThe speedometer measures the speed of the vehicle in km/h (mph in some countries). It consists of an instrument cluster gauge connected to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the transaxle output shaft.
The odometer measures in kilometers (miles in some countries) the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gauge connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft.
The trip odometer measures the distance the vehicle has traveled since the odometer was last reset. It consists of an instrument cluster gauge connected to the VSS on the transaxle output shaft. The trip odometer can be reset to zero at any time so that the driver can record the distance traveled from any starting point.
