Speedometer; Mileometer; Trip Odometer; Rev Counter - Chevrolet 2012 Malibu Owner's Manual

Speedometer

The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in kilometres per
hour (km/h).

Mileometer

The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. The digital odometer will
read 999,999 if it is turned back.
If the 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 door to show the
old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can show how far
the vehicle has been driven since
the trip odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and
reset through the Driver Information
Centre (DIC). See Driver
Information Centre (DIC) on
page 4‑31.

Rev Counter

The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated
with the tachometer 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.

vehicle still has a little fuel left, but
the vehicle should be fuelled soon.
