1998 PONTIAC GRAND AM 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).
Your vehicle also 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 reset the trip odometer to zero,
press the
knob at the top left side of the instrument
panel cluster.

Service
Your dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to
be happy with it. We hope you’ll go to your dealer for
all your service needs. You’ll get genuine GM parts and
GM-trained
and supported service people.
We hope you’ll want to keep your GM vehicle all GM.
Genuine
GM parts have one of these marks:
Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to use the proper Pontiac 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.
