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 odometer can be seen when the vehicle is
running. To view it when the ignition is off, press the trip
odometer button located near the display. The mileage
will display for about ve seconds.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last reset the trip odometer to zero.
Your trip odometer can be seen when the vehicle is
running. To view it when the ignition is off, press the trip
odometer button located near the display. You will
rst see the total miles your vehicle has traveled. Press
it again to see the mileage since the trip odometer
was last reset. The display will show the mileage for
about ve seconds.The trip odometer reset button is located next to the
odometer. By pressing the reset button, you can
alternate between the season odometer and the trip
odometer. To reset the trip odometer, press and hold the
reset button for one or two seconds.
The odometer and trip odometer can be displayed with
the ignition off by pressing the trip odometer reset
button. The display will remain on for ve seconds after
the last time the reset button is pressed.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays
the engine speed in
revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle
could be damaged, and the damages would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not operate the engine
with the tachometer in the shaded warning area.

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.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 5-62for more
information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used
or how far it’s been driven. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash. If you have to
replace a wheel, use a new GM original
equipment wheel.
