1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme mileage

Speedometer/Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(M). 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 Oldsmobile 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 accurate.
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 that will be done.
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 RESET
button on the right side of the instrument cluster.
Tachometer
w RPM X 1000
The tachometer displays
the engine speed in
thousands
of revolutions
per minute (rpm).
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage
may occur.

Doing Your Own Service Work

,want to get the proper Oldsmabile Service Manual.
It tells you much more about how to service your
Oldsmobile than this manual can.
To order the proper
service manual, see “Service and Owner 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 Oldsmobile” 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.
