Speedometer And Odometer; Trip Odometer; Tachometer - Chevrolet 2008 Equinox 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.
If not, then it is 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

Your trip odometer is located in the Driver Information
Center and shows how far your vehicle has been
driven since the trip odometer was last reset. For
more information see DIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-43.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows your engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice: If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the solid red area, your vehicle
could be damaged. The damages would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not operate the
engine in the solid red area.
