Speedometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (km/h).

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.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light (OPTION)
With anti-lock, this light will go on
when you start your engine and it will
stay on for three seconds. That’s
normal.
If the light doesn’t come on,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when
you’re driving,
stop as soon as possible
and turn the key off. Then start the
engine to reset the system. If the light
still stays
on, or comes on again while
you’re driving, your Pontiac needs
service. Unless the regular brake system
warning light
is also on, you will still
have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes.
If
the regular brake system warning light
is also on, see the Index under Brake
System Warning Light.
If the anti-lock brake system warning
light ever flashes, your anti-lock brake
system is still working but needs service
as soon as possible.
