GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).

Your vehicle's odometer works together with the driver information center, if equipped. You can set a personal trip and business trip odometer. See "Trip Information" under DIC Operation and Displays DIC Operation and Displays .

For vehicles without the DIC buttons, your vehicle will be equipped with personal trip odometer, business trip odometer and hourmeter in addition to the regular odometer. To access the different odometers and the hourmeter, press and release the trip stem button to cycle through the following options:

    • ODOMETER: XXXXX.X MI -- This shows the current distance traveled in either miles or kilometers. The odometer cannot be reset.
    • PERSONAL: XXXXX.X MI -- This shows the current distance traveled since the last reset for the personal trip odometer. Press and hold the trip stem while this is displayed to reset the personal odometer to 0.
    • BUSINESS: XXXXX.X MI -- This shows the current distance traveled since the last reset for the business trip odometer. Press and hold the trip stem while this is displayed to reset the business odometer to 0.
    • HOURMETER: XX.X HR -- This shows the total number of hours the engine has run. The hourmeter cannot be reset.

To change the language of the display do the following:

  1. Use the trip stem to scroll to the odometer mode.
  2. Press and hold the trip stem for about four seconds until the display scrolls through the following choices:
  3. • ENGLISH
    • FRENCH
    • SPANISH
  4. Release the trip stem when you reach the desired language.

The display will now be in the language you have chosen.

The odometer mileage can also be checked without the vehicle running. Simply press the trip stem on the instrument panel cluster.

If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer.
