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.
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 driven
since you last reset it.
To set it to zero:
0 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 zeros appear.
