Features & Controls
Speedometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (km/h).
96
Odometer
Your odometer shows how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the
U.S.) or kilometers (used
in Canada).
Your Pontiac has a tamper resistant
odometer.
If you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll how that
someone has probably tried to turn it
back,
so the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
Pontiac needs a new odometer installed.
If the new
one can be set to the mileage
total
of the old odometer, then it must
be. But
if it can’t, then it’s set at zero
and a label must be put on the driver’s
door to show the old mileage reading
when the new odometer was installed.
OOOOOC
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far
your vehicle has been driven since you
last set the trip odometer to zero. It
reads in either miles
or kilometers.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press
the reset button.

Used Replacement Wheels Tire Chains
Using the wrong replacement I
1‘ I wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the
braking md handling of you
vehicle, make your tires lose air and
make you lose control. You could
have a collision in which yau or
others could be injured. Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts, and
wheel nuts for replacement.
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing
life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlight
aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearanr
and tire or tire chain clearancc
he body and chassis.
Putting a used wheel on your
1 b vehicle is dangerous, You
can’t how how it’s beerl used or
how rnany miles 8s been driven. It
could fail suddenly and muse an
accident. If you have to replace a
wheel use a new GM original
equipment wheel. I
If your Pontiac has P215/60R16,
P225/60R16 or P245/50ZR16 size
tires, don’t use tire chains; they
can damage your vehicle.
If you have other tires,
use
chains only when you must. I
only SAE Class “S” type chains
that are the proper size for your
tires. Install them on the front til
and tighten them as tightly as
possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and
fnlh
the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. If you can hear
t
chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them.
If the
contact continues, slow
down until
it stops. Driving too fast with
chains on will damage your
vehicle.
