Speedometer And Odometer - Chevrolet 2002 Malibu Owner's Manual

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 in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
The digital odometer will read 999,999 if someone
tries to turn it back.
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.
Trip Odometer
The reset button is located next to the trip odometer.
To reset the trip odometer to zero, press and hold the
reset button for one or two seconds. Also, by pressing
this button, you can toggle between the odometer and
the trip odometer.
The trip odometer can
tell you how far you
have driven since you
last reset it.
