Tony M Apr 28, 2018:
@ Asker 'speedo' is of course jargon for 'speedometer' = 'compteur', in equivalent colloquial terms.

By the way, 'speedo' NEVER = 'tableau de bord'! the speedo may of course be one of the instruments usually mounted on/in the dashboard, but even stretching metonymy to its limits, it wouldn't be used to refer to it in that way; all the more so, because a dashboard per se doesn't have a (mechanical drive) cable — though of course there may be a great many cables going to it of various types!

L'indicateur de vitesse signale généralement au conducteur la vitesse du véhicule en kilomètres par heure (km/h) et en milles par heure (mi/h).
