Instrumentpanel; Speedometer And Odometer - Buick 1994 Century Owner's Manual

The Instrument Panel: Your
Information System
Your instrument panel is designed to let you know at a
glance how your vehicle is running. You'll know how
fast you're going, how much fuel you're using, and
many other things you'll need to drive safely and
economically.
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 U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
Your Buick has a "tamper-resistant odometer." If you
can see very noticeable bright silver lines between the
numbers, probably someone has tried to turn it back.
The numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. If possible, the new one has to
be set to the same reading as the old one. If it can't be,
then it's set at zero, and a label on the driver's door must
show the old reading and when the new one was
installed.
