Instrument Panel and Cluster
Your instrument cluster is designed to let
you know at a glance how your vehicle
is
running. You’ll know how fast you’re
going, about how much fuel you have
left and many other things you’ll need to
know
to drive safely and economically.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed
in both miles per hour (mph)
and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how Far your vehicle has
been driven,
in either miles (used in the
U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada).
Your Chevrolet’s odometer is
tamper-resistant.
If you can see silver
lines between the numbers, probably
someone
has tried to turn it back. The
numbers may
not be true.
U.S. shown, Canada similar
You may wonder what happens if your
Chevrolet needs
a new odometer
installed.
If possible, the new one has to
be set to the same reading the old one
had. If
it can’t be, then it’s set at zero, but
a label on the driver’s door must show the
old reading and when the new one was
installed.

your vehicle has been driven since you

in thousands of revolutions per minute

Warning Lights, Gages
and Zndicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that are
on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before
it becomes
serious enough
to cause an expensive
repair
or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also
save you or others from injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be
or is a problem with one
of your vehicle’s
functions.
As you will see in the details
on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when
you turn the
ignition key just to let you know they‘re working.
If you
are familiar with this
section,
you should not be alarmed when
this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gages and warning lights
work together to let
you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one
of the warning lights comes on
and stays on when you are driving. or
when one
of the gages shows there may
be a problem, check the section that tells
you what
to do about it. Please follow the
manual’s advice. Waiting
to do repairs
can
be costly - and even dangerous. So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They‘re
a big help.

Fuel Gage
... 100
Your fuel page shows about how much
fuel
is in your tank. The fuel gage works
only when the ignition switch is
in the
Run position. When the gage pointer first
indicates
E, you still have a little fuel left
(about one to two gallons),
but you need
to get more right away. Here
are four concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gage.
All these
e
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything
is wrong with the fuel gage.
e
0
0
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts
off before the gage reads
F.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up
than the gage reads. For example, the
gage reads
1/2 full, but it took more
(or
less) than half of the tank's
capacity
to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you
turn, stop or speed up.
When you
turn the engine off, the
c gage doesn't go back to E.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Chevrolet's hydraulic brake system
is divided into two parts. If one part isn't
working, the other part can still work and
stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light goes on, there could
be a brake problem. Have your brake
system inspected right away.
This light should come on as you start the
vehicle.
If it doesn't come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there's a problem.
