Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): Odometer

The odometer displays the total distance which the vehicle has travelled. This is calculated by one of the microprocessors using the wheel speed signals received from the ABS ECU. The total mileage information is made available to other systems on the I and K Buses and is only transmitted in kilometers, irrespective of market configuration.

The odometer display can show distances travelled up 999,999 miles or kilometers. When the ignition is off, pressing the left hand instrument pack button, will allow the odometer reading to be displayed for 25 seconds.

The total distance is also recorded in the instrument pack EEPROM and RAM. This is recorded after every 2 kilometers travelled and transmitted to the LCM. This data is stored and compared to that of the instrument pack to protect against illegal alteration of the odometer readings.
