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 United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
The odometer
and trip odometer are displayed in the
Driver Information Center on vehicles
so equipped.
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your Pontiac 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
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
To set it to zero:
0 On vehicles with the Driver Information Center,
press the button labeled
TRIP.
On vehicles with the Systems Monitor, the button is
next to the trip odometer. Push and release in a
smooth, continuous motion until all zeroes appear.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want
to get the proper Pontiac Service Manual. It tells
you much more about how
to service your Pontiac than
this manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service Publications” in the Index.
Your vehicle
has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Pontiac” in the Index.
You should keep
a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage
and the date of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
NOTICE:
If you try to do your own service work without
knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be
damaged.
