1997 GMC JIMMY mileage

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kndh).
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 Odomet
The trip odometer can tell you how fir your vehicle has
been driwn since you last set the
trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odome.ter to zero, press the button near
the readout.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
ner minute (rprn). 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.
The 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 shaded 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 solid red danger range tells you that your engine speed
is at its upper limits. Your should immediately shift
to a
higher gear, or lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal.
1 NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range,
or engine damage will occur.

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see "Servicing Your Air

A CAUTION:
You can be in-jured 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, the proper replacement parts and tools before you attempt any vehicle
nlaintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. "English" and "metric"
fasteners can be easily
confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
