  • Tachometer shows how many rotations your engine is making per minute.
  • Odometer shows how many miles your car has traveled in its lifetime.
  • Fuel Gauge shows how much fuel remains in your car's tank.
  • Gear Display shows which gear your car is currently in.
  • Turn Signal Indicators flash when your turn signals are on; both will flash if you turn on your hazard lights.
