Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets
you
see your speed
in
both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kdh). 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
ERROR,
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
will be 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.
Your triphelect reset switch will go back and forth
between the odometer and the trip odometer if the
button
is
pressed and released within
1.5
seconds.
If
the
button is pressed and held for longer than
1.5
seconds
while in the trip odometer mode, it will be reset to zero.
If
the button is pressed and held for longer than
I
.5
seconds while in the odometer mode,
it
will have
no effect.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save
you
or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or
is
a
problem with one
of
your vehicle’s functions.
As
you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when
you
start the
engine just to
let
you know they’re working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
