1994 Buick Regal Owner's Manual - Page 114

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, the new one has to be set to the same reading as the old one. If it can't be, then it's set at zero, and a label on the driver's door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed. Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators This section 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 go 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 turn the ignition key 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. Trip Odometer A trip odometer can tell you how many miles you have driven since you last set it back to zero. To reset it, push the button. 112
