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 United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your Buick has a tamper resistant odometer. If you see
bright silver lines between the numbers, you'll know
that someone has probably tried to turn it back. 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
t o
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
A trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last set it to zero. To reset it, push the button.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer tells you
how fizst the engine is
going. It displays
thousands of revolutions
per minute (~pm).
