Odometer: Description and Operation




ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER

The odometer measures in kilometers (miles) the total distance the vehicle has traveled since it was manufactured. It consists of an instrument cluster gage 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 gage 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.
