odometer CHEVROLET CAVALIER 1997 3.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 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 (If Equipped)
RPM
APPLY BRAKE TO
SHIFT FROM PARK
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle
has been driven since you last reset the trip odometer
to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press the knob to the
right of it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
See “Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index for
more information.
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 an accident.
If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
NOTICE:
If your Chevrolet has P195/65R15 or P205/55R16
size tires, don’t use tire chains. They can damage
your vehicle because there
is not enough clearance.
