1996 Oldsmobile Achieva Owner's Manual - Page 107

Speedometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). 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. Tamper Resistant Odometer Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in theUnited States) or kilomsters (used in Canada). Your Oldsmobile 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.
