Indicators
This section 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 go 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 turn the ignition key just to let you
lmow 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 the manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly-and even
dangerous, So please get to how your
warning lights and gages. They’re a big
help.

Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (kdh)
.
Odometer
Your odometer shows you how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the
U.S.) or kilometers (used
in Canada).
Your Chevrolet has a tamper resistant odometer.
If you see silver lines
between the numbers, you’ll know
someone has probably tampered with it
and the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
Chevrolet 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 (OPTION)
The trip odometer tells you how far
your vehicle has been driven since you
last reset it.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press
the reset button.
