Speedometer and
Odometer

The speedometer shows the
vehicle’s speed in both miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per
hour (km/h).

The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
miles or kilometers.

If a new odometer is installed, the
new one is set to the mileage total
of the old odometer. If it cannot,
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. If the mileage is unknown,
the label should then indicate
“previous mileage unknown.”

Trip Odometer(s)

The trip odometer, located at the
center of the instrument panel
cluster, tells how far the vehicle has
been driven since the trip odometer
was set to zero.

To reset the trip odometer, hold the
reset stem, located to the right of
the speedometer, for approximately
one second while the trip odometer
is displayed. The engine must be
turned on.

Service Display

The vehicle may have a display
above the odometer that shows when
service is needed. The number that
displays with “INSP” is the remaining
distance that can be driven until
service is required. See Engine Oil
Life System
on page 9-9 and the
index of the Saturn Astra Limited
Warranty, Maintenance and Owner
Assistance Information Manual.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per minute.

Safety Belt Reminders

Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light

There is a Driver Safety Belt
Reminder Light on the instrument
panel cluster.

When the engine is started this light
and chime come on and stay on
for several seconds to remind
drivers to fasten their safety belts.
The light also begins to flash.

This cycle repeats if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle
is moving.

If the driver safety belt is already
buckled, neither the light nor chime
come on.
