odometer CADILLAC DEVILLE 1994 7.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
U.S.) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
English Metric Button
This button is located on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You can
go back and forth from English (miles) to metric (kilometers) by pushing
this button.
The same button also makes other readings (like temperature and fuel)
go between English and Metric.
Trip Odometer Button
This button is located on the Driver Information Center (DIC). You can
tell
how far you’ve gone since you last set it back to zero. To reset, push
and hold the button until it zeros.
If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer will return to zero after
999.9 miles (1609 km).
If you have a Canadian vehicle the trip odometer
will return
to zero after 1999.9 km (1242 miles).

You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one will read the correct mileage. This is because the
computer stores the mileage in memory.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights 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.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information System” in the Index.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s
hydraulic brake system
is divided into
two
parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part
can still work and stop
you. For good braking,
though, you need both
parts working
well.
r
L-l
This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in one of your
vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first sold
in Canada or are export
vehicles will have a number after each message. This number helps to
identify that message, which is only displayed in English.

and the brake
is not depressed. If you do not want this message to appear,
you
can cancel this message by holding the “OFF” and the Blue (cooler)
button on the Electronic Climate
Control panel for about 5 seconds. Hold the
same
two buttons again to have this message displayed again.
BATTERY NO CHARGE - 07
