It is unlawful for any person to advertise for sale, to sell, to use, or to install or to have installed, any device which causes the odometer to register any mileage other than the true mileage driven. For the purpose of this section the "true mileage driven" is that mileage driven by the vehicle as registered by the odometer within the manufacturer's designed tolerance.
