Speedometer And Odometer; Safety Belt Reminder Light - GMC Chevrolet SSR 2003 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).
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Turn the ignition to RUN and press the
trip information button located on the steering wheel.
See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-41 for more
information.
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 trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
Your trip odometer is part of your Driver Information
Center (DIC). The trip information button toggles
to display your trip odometer, Trip A, and Trip B
functions. See "Trip Odometer" under DIC Controls
and Displays on page 3-41 for more information.

Tachometer
Notice: If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle
could be damaged, and the damages would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not operate the engine
with the tachometer in the shaded warning area.
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut off at about 6500 rpm. It will turn back on
again once the vehicle rpm drops below 6500.

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the key is turned to RUN or START, 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.
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.
