With the ignition key in the ignition switch,
you can
turn the switch to five positions:
Accessory: An “on” position in which
you can operate your electrical power
accessories. Press in the ignition switch
as
you turn the top of it toward you.

electrical power
to any accessories. Use
this position
if your vehicle must be
pushed
or towed, but never try to push-

A warning chime will
sound
if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is
off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after
you start your
engine and release the switch. The

ment panel warning lights.

STANDARD CLUSTER
Instrument Panel Clusters
Your Chevrolet is equipped with one of
these instrument panel clusters, which
include indicator warning lights and
gages that are explained on the
following pages. Be sure to read about
those that apply to the instrument panel
cluster for your vehicle.
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).
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your Chevrolet has a tamper resistant
odometer. If
you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll
know that
someone has probably tried to
turn it
back,
so the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
vehicle needs a new odometer installed.
