Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets
you see your speed in
both miles per hour
(mph) and kilometers
per hour (Wh).
All speedometers will show speeds up to
85 mph (140 km/h), but if you
have a 4.3L
(VIN W) engine with a tachometer, the speedometer will show
speeds up to
100 mph (1 60 Wh).
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
Standard Cluster Tachometer Cluster
Your odometer is tamper resistant. It will show silver lines between the
numbers if someone tries to
turn it back.
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.

The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since
you last set the trip odometer to zero. Make sure the button is completely
depressed.
To set the trip odometer to zero, completely push the button near the
readout.
Tachometer
The tachometer
displays the engine
speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Each tachometer has a different limit depending on the powertra\
in in your vehicle. The tachometer has three areas: normal operating range, yellow
warning range, and’red danger range.
Normal operating range shows your engine speed during normal dr\
iving conditions. For example, when the needle points to
2, it means the engine is

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine running at 2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer needle will
vary all the time that the engine is running.
The yellow warning range tells you that your engine speed is reach\
ing its
upper limits. Don’t drive very long with the tachometer in the yellow range.
If you have a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as soon as possible.
If you have an automatic transmission, lift your foot off
of the accelerator
pedal
so that the transmission can select a higher gear.
The Red danger range tells you that your engine speed is at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a higher gear, or lift your foot
off of the
accelerator pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red
danger range, engine damage will result.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area,
or engine damage
will occur.

Warning Lightsy Gages and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong be\
fore it
becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacem\
ent.
Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also s\
ave 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 sec\
tion, 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 toge\
ther 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.
