Speedometer/Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(kmh). Your
odometer shows how
far your vehicle has been driven in
either miles (used
in the United States) or in kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your Buick has
a tamper-resistant odometer. If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know someone
has probably tampered with it and 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 since
you last reset it.
To set it to zero, press the button on the
right side
of the instrument cluster.
Tachometer
x
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to get the proper Buick Service Manual.
It tells you
much more about how to service your Buick than this
manual can. To order the proper service manual, see
“Service Publications”
in the Index.
Your vehicle has an air
bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Buick” in the Index.
You should keep
a record with all parts receipts and
list the mileage and the date
of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record”
in the Index.
NOTICE:
If you try to do your own service work without
knowing enough about it,
your vehicle could be
damaged.
