This light should also come on briefly as you start the
vehicle.
If it doesn’t, have the light fixed so it will be
ready to remind you if the parking brake has not fully
released. For more information on how to release
the parking brake, see “Parking Brake” earlier in
this section.
Digital Cluster Analog Cluster
With the anti-lock brake system, the light(s) will come
on when you start your engine and may stay on for
several seconds. That’s normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition
off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service. If the regular brake system warning light
isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have
anti-lock brakes.

Digital Cluster
For vehicles equipped with an analog cluster (not shown), fuel data can be obtained by pressing the
INFO button. See “Analog Control Buttons” later in
this section.
The fuel data panel tells you all
you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
fuel remaining. Press the
AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon (AVG MPG). You can also display it in
metric units by pressing the ENG MET button.
When AVG MPG is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total
fuel used.
When the INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is selected,
you will see what the fuel economy is at that
instant. The computer takes a new reading twice every
second. It will show economy up to
70 miles-per-gallon
(or
2 L per 100 km).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG
MPG is
displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the RESET button until both the fuel data center and
DIC display reads 0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does
not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip,
so the range is estimated
based
on the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change as your driving habits change.
Going from city to highway driving may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon as possible. Your computer needs enough data
for the RANGE reading to work.

ENGMET: You can change the display from English
(miles) to metric (kilometers) by pressing
this button.

TRIP SET By using this button, you can tell how far
you’ve gone since you last set the
TRIP SET back to
zero.
To reset, press and hold the button until zeros
appear. If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer
will return to zero after
999.9 miles (1 609 km). If
your vehicle is Canadian, the trip odometer will return
to zero after
1 999.9 km (1,242 miles).

display the MPG
AVG, MPG INST, GAL FUEL USED,
AVG MPH, ENGINE RPM, BATTERY VOLTS,

TIMER button to start the timing feature. Press the
TIMER button again to stop it. If you will be starting
and stopping your Cadillac, during
a trip for instance,
the
TIMER feature will automatically start timing where
it left
off when you last stopped. To reset it, press and
hold the
RESET button until the display reads TIMER
0O:OO:OO. Press the INFORMATION button to exit from
the
TIMER function.
RESET: Pressing this button will reset the MPG AVG,
MPG INST, GAL
FUEL USED, AVG MPH and OIL
LIFE LEFT. Pressing RESET when a non-resettable
display appears will cause a “recall” mode to occur.
When this happens, all
DIC warning messages that have
been displayed since the ignition key was turned to
RUN will redisplay. If no messages were displayed, a
MONITORED
SYSTEMS OK message will appear.

BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM - 10s: The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted
or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your Cadillac dealership.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and
it should be changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations”
in the Maintenance Schedule booklet.
After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the Index on how to reset it.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CJ3ECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL - 37: This message
will display if the ignition is in the
RUN position to
inform the driver that the brake fluid level is low. Check
the brake reservoir level and add fluid as needed. Have
the brake system serviced by a Cadillac technician as soon
as possible. If the brake warning light is on, follow
the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 02: This message will
appear when there is a low level
of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician as soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE - 39: This message will appear
when the fuel supply
is less than four gallons (15.2 L)
and the display is turned off (digital clusters only).
A single chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface.
A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level
is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message will

DRIVER DOOR OPEN - 140: The driver’s door is
open or ajar when this message appears. The vehicle’s

ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINE - 44:
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature is over 248
“F (1 26 “C). To avoid added strain
on a hot engine, turn off the climate control system. Stop
and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools down or the
message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off the
engine and have it serviced before driving it again. Severe
engine damage can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index,

be a problem with your stability enhancement system.
If
you see this message, try to reset the system (stop; turn
off the engine; then start the engine again). If the
STABILITY REDUCED message still comes on,
however, it means there is a problem,
so you should see
your Cadillac dealer for service.

a proper service center before turning
off the engine.
TOP SPEED FUEL CUT-OFF - 111: This message
will appear when the PCM senses that the maximum
speed for your Cadillac has been reached. The speed
of your vehicle will decrease several mph as the fuel
supply
is cutoff. This allows your vehicle to stay in a
stable operating range.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TRACTION ENGAGED - 91: When your traction
control system is limiting wheel spin, the TRACTION

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The DIC may display a CHECK OIL LEVEL message.
Always keep a written record of the mileage and date
when you changed your oil. For more information, see
the Cadillac Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see
CHECK
OIL LEVEL, it means that you have less than
10 percent of the oil life left and you should consider
changing your engine oil. If you see CHANGE
ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you
should change the oil right away.
The system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the vehicle has been driven
7,500 miles (12 500 km), it will
indicate to change the oil.
If you drive in a dusty area,
you should change your oil every
3,000 miles (5 000
km) or three months (whichever comes first) unless the
display indicates changing it sooner. The system doesn’t
check
how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to
check for that.
To see how, see “Engine Oil” in
the Index.
When new oil
is added, you’ll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFORMATION (INFO) button. Then press and hold
the RESET button until the display shows 100% OIL
LIFE LEFT.
