2007 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER mileage

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in the
United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
The odometer mileage can be checked without
the vehicle running. Press the trip stem located
on the instrument panel cluster.
If your vehicle needs a new odometer installed,
the new one will be set to the correct mileage
total of the old odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your
vehicle has been driven since you last set the
trip odometer to zero.
The odometer works together with the Driver
Information Center (DIC). You can set a Trip A
and Trip B odometer. See “Trip Information”
underDIC Operation and Displays on page 221.
The odometer mileage can be checked without
the vehicle running. Press the trip stem on
the instrument panel cluster.

Doing Your Own Service Work
{CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could
be damaged if you try to do service work
on a vehicle without knowing enough
about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement
parts, and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts,
and other fasteners. English and metric
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
If you want to do some of your own service work,
you should use the proper service manual.
It tells you much more about how to service your
vehicle than this manual can. To order the
proper service manual, seeService Publications
Ordering Information on page 554.Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work, see
Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on
page 86.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of any service
work you perform. SeeMaintenance Record
on page 534.
Adding Equipment to the Outside
of Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your
vehicle can affect the airow around it. This may
cause wind noise and affect windshield washer
performance. Check with your dealer before
adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle.

Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you
know when to change the engine oil and lter.
This is based on engine revolutions and engine
temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change
will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil
life system to work properly, you must reset the
system every time the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated that oil life
has been diminished, it will indicate that an
oil change is necessary. A change engine oil
light will come on, and, if your vehicle has a
Driver Information Center (DIC), a CHANGE
ENGINE OIL message will come. SeeChange
Engine Oil Light on page 216andDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 224.Change your oil as soon as possible within the
next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you
are driving under the best conditions, the oil life
system may not indicate that an oil change is
necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil
and lter must be changed at least once a year
and at this time the system must be reset.
Your dealer has GM-trained people who will
perform this work using genuine GM parts and
reset the system. It is also important to check the
oil regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must
change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
since the last oil change. Remember to reset the
oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
