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).
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle
has been driven since you last set the trip odometer
to zero.
While the engine is running, press the reset button,
located to the right of the trip odometer, to toggle
between the trip odometer and the regular odometer.
Holding the reset button for two seconds while the
engine is running and the trip odometer is displayed,
will reset it.
To display the odometer reading with the ignition off,
press the reset button.
Engine Speed Limiting
All engines have electronic engine speed limiting.
The engine limited speeds range between
2,900 and 4,400 rpm depending on engine
option content.
Engine Road Speed Governor
This system controls maximum vehicle speed
automatically and reduces engine power until vehicle
speed gets down to maximum governed speed.
A 75 mph (120 km/h) road speed governor is standard
for most models, but can be programmed to any
speed below that default setting. Other models have a
default setting of 80 to 85 mph (128 to 136 km/h).
You may have a label on the headliner of your vehicle
with more information on your engine road speed
governor. See your dealer for assistance with
programming your engine limited speed.

Hourmeter Gage
The instrument panel cluster displays the accumulated
engine run time hours using the reconfigurable
odometer VF display. The engine run time hours
displays only when the ignition is in the OFF or ACC
position and the trip reset switch is pressed for
about four seconds.
When the ignition is in the OFF or ACC position, the
instrument panel cluster displays the engine
accumulated hours for up to 30 seconds. The value of
the accumulated hours does not change when the
battery is disconnected.
The hourmeter resets to 0.0 when 10,000 hours are
accumulated. The instrument panel cluster begins
to reaccumulate the engine run time hours from 0.0
hours.
Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle – like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio – be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine,
radio or other systems, and even damage them.Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it first. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
find out what your audio system can do, and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you are getting
the most out of the advanced engineering that went
into it.
Setting the Time
Press and hold the HR or MIN arrow for two seconds.
Then press the HR (down) arrow until the correct
hour appears on the display. Press and hold the
MIN (up) arrow until the correct minute appears on
the display. The time may be set with the ignition on
or off.

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, replace
the wheel. If the wheel leaks air, replace it.
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:
A leaking wheel could fail without warning.
A wheel designed for tubeless tires could be
leaking because it is damaged. Don’t use
an inner tube or some other thing to try to
stop the leaking. Get a new wheel or the
proper type.
{CAUTION:
Without the correct wheel, you may not be able
to stop properly, and you could have other
problems like a tire air-out. You could have a
collision. If you don’t go to your dealer to get a
new wheel, be sure you get the correct one.
Each new wheel should match the original
wheel in load-carrying capacity, ination
pressure capacity, diameter, width, offset and
mounting conguration.
Using wheels and tires with higher load-carrying limits
than the original wheels and tires doesn’t change
the GAWR or the GVWR of your vehicle. See “Loading
Your Vehicle” for more information.
Notice:The wrong wheel can cause trouble in
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, stopping distance and tire
clearance to the body and chassis. You could also
have other problems like a tire air-out.
