GMC 2008 Acadia - Manual (Page 183)

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles or kilometers.
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. If your
vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the new
one will be set to the mileage total of the old odometer.
If this is not possible, it will be 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. If the mileage is unknown, the label should
then indicate “previous mileage unknown”.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Safety Belt Reminders
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the engine is started, a chime will come on for
several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety
belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light
will also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s
belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
