2-46 Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave an
interior or trunk lamp on. If you leave any of these
lamps on while the ignition is in ACC or OFF, they
will automatically turn off after 20 minutes. The lamps
won't come back on until you do one of the following:
Turn the ignition to ON,
turn the interior lamp thumbwheel all the way up or
open (or close and reopen) a door that is closed.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the

after only three minutes.

2-61 Speedometer/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 in
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper
-resistant odometer.
If your odometer fails and needs to be replaced, the
entire cluster needs to be replaced. Take your vehicle
to the dealer to have this done. The dealer will have the
new cluster odometer set to the mileage of the old
odometer/cluster if at all possible. 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.Season/Trip Mode
Press this button to display
the total vehicle mileage
(season mode).
It is also pressed to display the trip mileage (trip mode).
The mode switch is located on the left side of the
instrument panel, next to the TRIP RESET button
for the trip odometer.

of revolutions per minute (rpm).

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 tire clearance to the body and chassis.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index for
more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
CAUTION:
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:
Use tire chains only where legal and only when
you must. Use only SAE Class ªSº type chains
that are the proper size for your tires. Install
them on the front tires and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions. If you can hear the
chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten
them. If the contact continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels
with chains on will damage your vehicle.
