Alarm activated is indicated by a numerical speed indication on the System Scanner on the Digital Instrument Cluster. Alarm deactivated is indicated by "---" in place of the speed number. Once speed is set, it will remain set unless it is cancelled by pressing the ALARM button again.
• SET (UP): Speed Alarm Set Increment. With the engine running, press the speed increment button to display speed alarm. Each additional press of this button will activate the speed alarm and then increase the set speed by 5 MPH or KM/H increments. The maximum speed set is 85 mph or 250 km/h.
• SET (DOWN): Speed Alarm Set Decrement. With the engine running, press the speed decrement button to display speed alarm. Each additional press of this button will activate the speed alarm and then decrease the set speed by 5 MPH or KM/H increments. The minimum speed set is 25 mph or 40 km/h.
• DIM: Dim. When vehicle parking lamps or headlamps are on, all lights on the instrument cluster are dimmed. Press the DIM button to return instrument cluster lights to normal brightness. (Useful during daylight hours.) Press again to dim.
• M/KM: English/Metric. Press the M/KM button to select speed units display of miles or kilometers. Current mode selected will be displayed on the English/Metric Mode Indicator on the Digital Instrument Cluster. Note: Pressing this button automatically turns off speed alarm and changes set speed to 55 mph or 90 km/h.
• T/ODO: Trip Odometer/Odometer Display. Press T/ODO button to select between odometer or trip odometer on the Digital Instrument Cluster.

2) Trip Computer Keypad (If Equipped)

Includes twelve buttons for use with the Trip Computer Display (3). The ten function keys also double as a numerical key pad from 1 to 9 and 0.

• A/ECON (1): Average Fuel Economy. This button displays the vehicle fuel economy since the last reset, in miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers. To reset, press and hold both RESET and A/ECON at the same time until an audible tone sounds 8 times and the display reads zero.
• I/ECON (2): Instantaneous Fuel Economy. This button displays the instantaneous fuel economy, in miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers, based on the distance driven. The measurement , calculation, and display of the instantaneous fuel economy are updated each second during driving.
• DTE (3): Distance To Empty. This button displays an estimated distance that can be driven with remaining fuel.
• EX TMP (4): Exterior Temperature. This button displays the air temperature outside the vehicle. If the ignition is turned on within five hours of the time it was turned off, the temperature displayed will reflect the outside temperature before the ignition was turned off. If the ignition is turned on more than five hours after the ignition was turned off, the temperature displayed will reflect the current outside temperature. This temperature will be updated after the vehicle speed exceeds 24 mph (40 km/h) for more than two minutes. This button also incorporates a Freeze Warning function. If the outside air temperature is 37°F (3°C) or lower when the ignition is turned on, or if the outside air temperature decreases to 37°F (3°C) or lower while the ignition is on, the word 'ICE' will be displayed, interrupting all other functions for one minute, after which the normal display format will return.
• METRIC (5): Metric Measurement Conversion. This button converts units of measurement displayed on the Trip Computer Display (3) from Metric to English and back with each press.
• AV-SPD (6): Average Speed. This button displays the average speed of the vehicle since the last reset. The calculation is based on distance traveled and time. Time is not counted while the ignition is off. To reset, press and hold both RESET and AV-SPD at the same time until an audible tone sounds 8 times and the display reads zero.
• DIST (7): Distance Traveled. This button displays the distance traveled since the last reset, thus functioning as a trip odometer. Up to 1,000 miles or kilometers, including tenths, can be displayed. Beyond 1,000 miles or kilometers, the display will round off to whole units only (no tenths will be shown). The maximum reading is 9,999. To reset, press and hold both RESET and DIST at the same time until an audible tone sounds 8 times and the display reads zero.
• DEST (8): Distance To Destination. This button displays distance remaining to a present destination. To enter the distance you plan to travel, press DEST once and then press and hold SET until an audible tone sounds 8 times and the display reads '---- SET KM'. With the numbered buttons on the keyboard enter distance, reading from left to right. No more than four numerals can be set for the distance. If a mistake is made while entering the distance, press RESET. The display will return to the set mode and a tone will sound. After entering the correct distance to be traveled, press SET again to secure the data. Press DEST at any time during your trip to see the remaining distance to your destination.
• E/TIME (9): Elapsed Travel Time. This button displays elapsed time in hours and minutes since last reset. To reset elapsed time to zero, press and hold both RESET and E/TIME at the same time until an audible tone sounds 8 times and the display reads zero. The elapsed travel time will continue to count even though the ignition is off.
• ETA (0): Estimated Time of Arrival. This button displays the estimated amount of time left before you reach your present destination which you previously entered with the DEST button, assuming you continue to travel at the current vehicle speed. The estimated time of arrival is updated each minute. On the left edge of the display the following indicators will appear next to the numbers: (+)Time remaining until preset destination is reached, (±)Preset destination reached, and (-)Time past preset destination time.
• SET: Function Set.
• RESET: Function Reset.
