Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off
the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 krdh) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from
ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up
to your chosen speed and
stay there.

Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilonleters per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven
in
either miles (used in the United States) or in kilometers
(used
in Canada).
Your Chevrolet has a tamper-resistant odometer.
If
you see silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know
someone has probably tampered with
it and the numbers
may not be correct.
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 that is what will
be done. If it can’t, then it will be 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
Your trip odometer tells how far you have driven since
you last reset it. To set it to zero, press the reset button.
Tachometer

x1000
The tachometer displays
the engine speed
in
thousands of revolutions
per
minute (rpm).

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

ANTI -
LOCK
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when you start your
engine and
it will stay
on for three seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light flashes when you’re driving, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be
a problem with your
regular brakes. Pull off the road and stop carefully. You
may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal
may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop.
Have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your
Vehicle”
in the Index.)
Your regular brake system may not be working
properly if the anti-lock brake system warning light
is flashing. Driving with the anti-lock brake system warning light flashing can lead to an accident. After
you’ve pulled
off the road and stopped carefully,
have the vehicle towed for service.
If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine, turn
the ignition
off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you’re driving, stop
as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again
to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes
on again
while you’re driving, your Chevrolet needs service.
If
the light is on but not flashing and the regular brake
system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but
you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition
key to RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.
