Speedometer And Odometer; Trip Odometer; Safety Belt Reminders - GMC 2008 Savana Van Owner's Manual

Speedometer and Odometer

The 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 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.
If your vehicle needs a new odometer installed, it must
be set to the mileage total of the old odometer. If that is
not possible, then it must be 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 trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
Press the reset button, located on the instrument panel
cluster next to the trip odometer display, to toggle
between the trip odometer and the regular odometer.
Holding the reset button for approximately one second
while the trip odometer is displayed will reset it.
To display the odometer reading with the ignition off,
press the reset button.

Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime will come on for
several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety
belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver's belt
is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will
come on.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
