1995 Pontiac Bonneville Owner's Manual - Page 99

Speedometer and 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 kilometers (used inCanada). The odometer and trip odometer are displayed in the Driver Information Center on vehicles so equipped. Trip Odometer 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 happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If the new one 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. The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven since you last reset it. To set it to zero: 0 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. 2-50
