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 theUnited States) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your Buick has a tamper-resistant odometer. If you see bright silver lines between the numbers, probably someone has tried to turn it back. The numbers may not be true. You may wonder whathappens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. If possible, the new one has to be set to the same reading the oldone had. If it can't be, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on the driver's door to show the old mileage reading and when the new one was installed. Tachometer (Option) 4 The tachometer on the optional gage cluster tells ybu how fast the engine is running. It displays engine speed in thousands of 7 revolutions per minute (rpm). 2 \' 3/ \ I / 5 .
