Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(lun/h).
Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Press the E/M (English/Metric) button on the left side of
the instrument cluster to switch
the display between
miles and kilometers. Pressing this button will also cycle
all other displays through English and metric units.
Your Oldsmobile has a tamper resistant odometer.
If you
see silver lines between the numbers, you'll know that
someone has probably tried to
t u r n
it back, so the
numbers may not be true.
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. But if
it
can't, then it's 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 tells how far you have driven, in
either miles or kilometers, since you last reset it.
Press the E/M (Englishmetric) button on the left side of
the instrument cluster to switch the display between
miles and kilometers.
The trip odometer is displayed by pressing the
TRIP
button. To reset it to zero, press TRIP to display the trip
odometer, then hold the button for about three seconds
until the display resets.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed
in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
I
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area. Engine damage may occur.
