2009 Pontiac G5 Owner's Manual - Page 138

Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer shows the speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The vehicle's odometer works together with the Driver Information Center (DIC). Trip A and Trip B can be set on the odometer. See "Trip Information" under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-39. The vehicle does not have to be running to check the odometer mileage. Simply open the driver's door and the mileage briefly displays. If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct total mileage of the old odometer. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Notice: If the engine is operated while the tachometer is in the shaded warning area, the vehicle could be damaged, and the damages would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area. 3-24
