STANDARD CLUSTER
Instrument Panel Clusters
Your Chevrolet is equipped with one of
these instrument panel clusters, which
include indicator warning lights and
gages that are explained on the
following pages. Be sure to read about
those that apply to the instrument panel
cluster for your vehicle.
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
U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your Chevrolet has a tamper resistant
odometer. If
you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll
know that
someone has probably tried to
turn it
back,
so the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
vehicle needs a new odometer installed.

If the new one can be set to the mileage
total
of the old odometer, then it must
be. But
if it can’t, then it’s set at zero
and a label must be put on the driver’s
door to show the old mileage reading
when the new odometer was installed,
Trip Odometer (omoN)
The trip odometer can tell you how far
your vehicle has been driven since you
last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press
the
knob to the right of it.
Tachometer (oPnoN)
The tachometer displays the engine
speed
in revolutions per minute (rpm).
I NOTICE
Do not operate the engine with the
tachometer
in the red area, or
engine damage may occur.

and handling of your
vehicle, make 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.

Used Replacement Wheels
Putting a used wheel on your
4 vehicle is dangerous. You
can’t know how it’s been
used or
how many miles it’s been driven.
It could fail suddenly and cause an
accident. If you have to replace a
wheel use a new GM original
equipment wheel.
