1998 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA mileage

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 miles.
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
The trip odometer can tell you how fa- your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To view
the trip odometer, press the button near the
readout.
To reset the trip odometer, press the button
until it clears.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm). Each
tachometer has a different
limit depending on the
powertrain
in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
The normal operating range shows your engine speed
during normal driving conditions. For example, when
the needle points to
2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all the time that the engine is running.
The shaded red warning range tells you that your engine
speed is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long
with the tachometer in the red warning range. Lift your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
The solid red danger range tells you that your engine
speed
is at its upper limits. You should immediately shift
to
a higher gear, or lift your foot off the accelerator pedal.
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range,
or engine damage will occur.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to use the proper GM Service Manual.
It tells you
much more about how to service your vehicle 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 t.o
do your own service work, see “Servicing Your
Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle” 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.
