1998 GMC SIERRA mileage

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mphj and kilometers per hour (km/hj. Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used
in the United States) or kilometers
(used
in Canada).
Tamper-Resistant Odometer
Your odometer is tamper-resistant. The odometer 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 odometer 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 reset the trip odometer, fully press the reset button
located near the trip odometer readout.
If the reset
button is not
fully pressed, the trip odometer may not go
all the way back to zero. If it doesn’t, you may have to
press the reset button again
to reset the readout to zero.
Tachometer
Your tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpmj.
NOTICE:
On vehicles with a manual transmission, if you
operate the engine with the tachometer in the red
area, your engine or other parts could be damaged.
Damage to your engine or vehicle caused by
operating the engine in the red area isn’t covered
by your vehicle warranty. Don’t operate the
engine with the tachometer in the red area.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want
to use the proper GM 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.
