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 (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used
in
Canada).
Your Oldsmobile has a tamper resistant odometer. The
digital odometer will read
999,999
if someone tries to
turn
it back.
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
far
you have
driven since you last reset it.
The reset button is located next to the trip odometer. To
reset the trip odometer to zero, press and hold the reset
button for one to two seconds.
Also
by pressing this
button, you can toggle between the odometer and the
trip odometer.
