The Electronic Message Center; Odometer - Lincoln 1997 Town Car Owner's Manual

Odometer

The odometer tells you the total number of miles or
kilometers your vehicle has been driven. If the
cluster is replaced, and the accumulated mileage on
the odometer is unknown, the replacement cluster
will have the circled "S" illuminated with zero
miles on the odometer. If the actual vehicle mileage
can be verified, then an authorized service center
can program the actual mileage into the odometer
of the replacement cluster. The actual mileage (if
known) or an estimated mileage (if unknown) is
shown on a label affixed on the door pillar.
Press the E/M (English/Metric) button located just
below the message center display to show miles or
kilometers.
If the odometer displays the word "ERROR" contact
your dealer for service.
