odometer CHEVROLET TRACKER 1996 Owners Manual

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(h/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 Geo’s odometer is tamper-resistant.
If you can see
silver lines between the numbers, someone probably
has
tried to turn it back. The numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens
if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed.
If possible, the new one is to be
set to the same reading
as the old one. If it can’t be, then
it’s set at zero. Then a label is attached on the driver’s
door to
show the old reading and when the new one
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 set the trip odometer to zero, press the knob.
Tachometer
I
=2
xl OOOrpm
The tachometer shows
engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute
(rpm). You can use it while
driving
to select correct
shift points. The tachometer
may not return to zero when
the engine is not running.
I NOTICE: I
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced
carefully at the factory
to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels
aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear
or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need
to be reset. If you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving
on a smooth road, your
wheels may need
to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded.
If wheel nuts keep corning 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
Geo 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
Geo model.
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.
