mileage GMC SAVANA 1997 Owners Manual

Speedometer
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).
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.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to get the proper
GM Service Manual. It tells you
much more about how
to service your vehicle than this
manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service and Owner Publications” in the Index. Your
vehicle may have
an air bag system. If it does, see
“Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle’’ in the
Index before attempting to do your own service work.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
A CAUTIGN:
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused.
If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
