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).
You may wonder what happens if your Chevrolet needs a
new odometer installed.
If
possible, the new one has to be
set to the same reading the old one had.
If
it can’t be, then
it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must show
the
old reading and when
the
new one was installed.
Dip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your car has been
driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To
set the trip odometer to zero, press the knob.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the 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.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This
part describes the warning lights and gages that may
be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when
there
may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As
you will
see in the details on the next few pages, some warning
lights come on briefly when you
start
the engine just to
let
you know they’re working.
If
you
are
familiar with
this
section, you should not be alarmed when
this
happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one
of
your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages’ shows
there may be
a
problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about
it.
Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
--
and even
dangerous.
So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
