Odometer
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven, in either kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper–resistant odometer. The digital odometer will read 999,999 if it is turned back.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, it must be set to the mileage total of the old odometer.
If that is not possible, then it must 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.
