Speedometer and Odometer
. ..
' -20
MPH
Your speedometer lets
you see your speed in
both miles per hour
(mph) and kilometers
per hour (kdh). Your
odometer shows how
far your vehicle has
been driven, in either
miles (used
in the
US.) or kilometers
(used
in Canada).
Tamper-Resistant Odometer
Your odometer is tamper-resistant. The odometer will show silver lines
between
the numbers if someone tries to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer
installed. Laws vary
as to the procedure that must be followed, so check
with your state or provincial
vehicle registration office. But generally, if the
new odometer 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
The trip odometer can
tell you how far your
vehicle has been
driven since
you last
set the trip odometer
to zero.
To reset the trip odometer, fully press the reset button located near the trip
odometer readout.
If the reset button is not fully pressed, the trip odometer
may
not go all the way back to zero. If it doesn't, you may have to press the
reset button again
to reset the readout to zero.

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your GM dealer if any
of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
for your
GM model.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life,
brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlight aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain\

clearance to the body and chassis.
