,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
U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
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
To reset the trip odometer to
driven since you last reset it.
