2-66 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 or kilometers. Press The ENG/MET
button which is located to the left of the speedometer to
change from mph to km/h.
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
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
A trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last set it to zero. To reset it, push the TRIP
RESET button. If your vehicle is equipped with a DIC,
see ªDICº in the Index for information on resetting the
trip odometer.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer tells you
how fast the engine is
running. It displays engine
speed in thousands of
revolutions per
minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area or engine damage may occur.

The following buttons are
on the DIC control panel
which is located to the left
of the steering column:

ODO/TRIP: When this button is pressed, the display
will show the total mileage, and Trip 1 or Trip 2
miles. Trip 1 and Trip 2 will display the miles
traveled since the last reset. To reset the trip
odometer, press the ODO/TRIP button until the
preferred trip number (1 or 2) is shown in the
DIC display, then press the RESET button.
The trip odometer will now accumulate miles until
the next reset.
FUEL INFO: Press this button to display
fuel information.
Press the FUEL INFO button until the display shows
FUEL ECONOMY AVERAGE. Average fuel
economy is viewed as a long term approximation of
your overall driving conditions. To learn the average
fuel economy from a new starting point, press the
RESET button while the average fuel economy is
displayed in the DIC.
Press the FUEL INFO button until the display shows
FUEL ECONOMY INST. Instantaneous fuel
economy varies with your driving conditions, such
as acceleration, braking and the grade of the road
being traveled. The RESET button does not function
in this mode.
Press the FUEL INFO button until the display shows
FUEL RANGE. The fuel range will calculate the
remaining distance you can drive without refueling.
This calculation is based on the average fuel
economy for the last 25 miles (40.25 km) driven, and
the fuel remaining in the fuel tank. The RESET
button does not function in this mode.

6-49 Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced
carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are not
needed. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment
may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your
dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load
-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your vehicle.
CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you lose
control. You could have a collision in which you or
others could be injured. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index for
more information.
