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 (ltm/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in
the
U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
1 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.

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.
Trip Odometer (3. I L v6 ENGINE)
The trip odometer can tell you how far
your vehicle has been driven since
you
last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer
to zero, press
the knob to the right
of it.
Tachometer (3.1 L v6 ENGINE)
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the
tachometer in the red area, or
engine damage may occur.

Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory
to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However, if
you notice unusual tire wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need
to be reset. If you
notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on
a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked
or badly rusted.
If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the wheel leaks air, replace it (except
some aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your
Chevrolet dealer if any
of these
conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel
you need.
Each new wheel should have the same
load carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new
GM
original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure
to have the right wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
Chevrolet model.
I NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlight aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance,
and tire or tire chain clearance to
the body and chassis.
