Speedometer; Odometer; Trip Odometer; Tachometer - Buick Encore 2014 Owner's Manual

Speedometer

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

Odometer

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

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can show how far
the vehicle has been driven since
the trip odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and
reset through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5-21.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Fuel Gauge
Metric
English
Instruments and Controls
The fuel gauge indicates about how
much fuel is left when the ignition is
turned to ON/RUN.
When the tank nears empty, the low
fuel warning light will come on.
There is still a little fuel left, but the
vehicle's fuel tank should be filled
soon. See Low Fuel Warning Light
on page 5-19 for more information.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates on which side of the
vehicle the fuel door is located.
Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
show a problem with the fuel gauge:
At the service station, the gas
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
