Speedometer And Odometer; Tachometer - Pontiac 2003 Grand Prix Owner's Manual

Your vehicle
is
equipped with this cluster or one very
similar to it. It includes indicator warning lights and
gages that are explained on the following pages.
Be sure to read about them.
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 the vehicle has been driven in
either miles (used in the United States) or in kilometers
(used in Canada).
The vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you'll know someone
has probably tampered with it and the numbers may
not be correct.
You may wonder what happens if the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be
done. If it can't, then it will 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 tells how far you have driven since
you last reset it. To set it to zero, press the reset button
located to the right of the instrument panel cluster.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice: Do not operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, or engine
damage may occur.
