Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers perhour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the U.S.) or kilometers(used in Canada). Your Buick has a "tamper-resistant odometer." If you can see very noticeable bright silver lines between the numbers, probably someone has tried to turn it back. The numbers may not be true. You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer installed. If possible, thenew one has to be set to the same reading the old one had. If it can't be, then it's set at zero, but a label on the driver's door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed. Trip Odometer A trip odometer can tell how far you've gone sinceyou last set it back to zero.To reset it, push the button.
