1996 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE mileage

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.
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.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
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. To set it to zero:
On vehicles with the Driver Information Center,
press the button labeled
TRIP.
On vehicles with the LAMP 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 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 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.
