Driver Controls and Instruments Speedometer Water Temperature Gauge A speedometer (see Fig. 3.16 ) registers vehicle speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Standard speedometer gauges are equipped with an odometer that records total distance traveled in either kilometers or miles. The trip odometer registers distance driven and can be reset to zero by depressing the button. During normal engine operation, the water temperature gauge (see Fig. 3.17 ) should read 175 to 203°F (79 to 95°C). If the temperature remains below 160°F (71°C) or exceeds the maximum temperature shown in Table 3.1 , inspect the cooling system to determine the cause.
