(2) Advertise for sale, or sell, rent, lease, or export any passenger car, the odometer of which has been tampered with in such a fashion or manner as to mislead the prospective buyer to believe that the passenger car traveled a lesser distance than it actually has traveled;
(3) Operate a passenger car on any street or highway, knowing that the odometer of the passenger car is disconnected or nonfunctional;
(4) Disconnect, turn back, advance, or reset the odometer of any passenger car with intent to alter the distance indicated on the odometer; or
(5) Misrepresent the true distance traveled by any passenger car subject to this part, so as to mislead a prospective buyer.
