Features & Controls Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada). The odometer and trip odometer are displayed in the Driver Information Center on vehicles so equipped. Tamper Resistant Odometer Your Pontiac has a tamper resistant odometer. If you see silver lines between the numbers, you'll know that someone has probably tried to turn it back, so the numbers may not be true. You may wonder what happensif your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to mileage the 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 onthe driver's door to show the old mileage reading when the new odometer was installed. Trip Odometer The trip odometer can tellyou how far you have driven sinceyou last reset it. To set it to zero: On vehicles with the Driver Information Center, press the button labeled TRIP. On vehicles with the Systems Monitor, the button is next to the trip odometer. Push and release in a smooth, continuous motion until all zeroes appear.
