1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER mileage

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer ar 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).
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.
Trip Odometer
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 button near
the readout.
Tachometer (Option)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(rpm).
Each tachometer has a different limit depending on the
powertrain
in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
Normal operating range shows your engine speed during
normal driving conditions. For example, when the
needle points to
2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all
the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed
is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long with
the tachometer in
the red warning 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.
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.
L
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range, or engine damage will occur.

If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to get
the proper service manual. It tells you much
more about how to service your vehicle than this manual
can.
To order the proper service manual, see “Service
and Owner 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 Vehicle” 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.
A CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on
a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, and the proper replacement
parts and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and 44metric”
fasteners can be easily confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or
fall off. You could be hurt.
