2001 BUICK LESABRE odometer

2-70 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 either miles or kilometers. Press The ENG/MET
button which is located to the left of the speedometer
to change from mph to km/h.
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
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
A trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last set it to zero. To reset it, push the TRIP
RESET button. If your vehicle is equipped with a DIC,
see ªDICº in the Index for information on resetting the
trip odometer.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer tells you
how fast the engine is
running. It displays 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.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Driver
Information Center (DIC). The DIC will display
information about how your vehicle is functioning,
as well as warning messages if a system problem is
detected. This feature also allows two different drivers
to store and recall their own personal choice settings.
See ªDIC Personal Choice Programmingº later in
this section.
DIC Displays and Controls
There are two lines in the DIC display. The DIC
displays the driver number identified when entering
the vehicle. You can have your dealer program your
name to appear on this display line. See your dealer
for more information.
When you turn the ignition on, the DIC will display
your DRIVER NUMBER. The system will then
perform a status check and display any messages if
a problem is detected.
If there are no problems detected, the display will return
to the mode selected by that driver the last time the
ignition was turned off.If a problem is detected, a diagnostic message will
appear in the display. The following pages will show
the messages you may see on the DIC display.
The message center is continuously updated with the
vehicle's performance status.
The following buttons are
on the DIC control panel
which is located to the left
of the steering column:

ODO/TRIP: When this button is pressed, the
display will show the total mileage, and Trip 1 or
Trip 2 miles. Trip 1 and Trip 2 will display the
miles traveled since the last reset. To reset the trip
odometer, press the ODO/TRIP button until the
preferred trip number (1 or 2) is shown in the
DIC display, then press the RESET button.
The trip odometer will now accumulate miles
until the next reset.

Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your vehicle.
CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you
lose control. You could have a collision in which
you or others could be injured. Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index for
more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can't know how it's been used or
how far it's been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident. If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new GM original equipment wheel.
