mileage Oldsmobile Achieva 1998 Owner's Manuals

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 vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer. If you
see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know that
someone has probably tried to turn it back,
so the
numbers may not be true.
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.
To reset the trip odometer
to zero, press the knob
below
it.

be happy with it. We hope you’ll go to your retailer for
all your service needs. You’ll get genuine GM parts and

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work,
you’ll want to use the proper Oldsmobile Service
Manual. It tells you much more about how to service
your vehicle than this manual can.
To order the proper
service manual, see “Service and Owner Publications”
in the Index.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to do your own service work,
see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date
of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
