Pontiac 2010 Automobile User Manual


 
Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer shows the speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph).
The vehicle’s odometer works together with the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Trip A and Trip B can be
set on the odometer. See “Trip Information” under DIC
Operation and Displays on page 4-36.
The vehicle does not have to be running to check the
odometer mileage. Simply open the driver’s door and the
mileage briefly displays.
If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed,
the new one will be set to the correct total mileage of the
old odometer.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays
the engine speed
in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated while the
tachometer is in the shaded warning area, the
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not
operate the engine with the tachometer in the
shaded warning area.
