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 (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what: happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you
or
others from injury. Warning lights come
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 start the
engine just to let you know they’re working.
If you are
familiar with this section, you should not
be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you
know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle,
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when
you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about
it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system
that works along with the warning lights
and gages. See
“Driver Information Center” in the Index.

DISPLAY ONIOFF: Pressing this button will turn off
the DIC, Electronic Climate Control, fuel data center, the fuel gage, trip odometer and odometer. While the
displays
are off, pressing the INFORMATION button
will only turn on the DIC. If the TRIP SET button
is pressed or the fuel level falls below four gallons
(15.2 L), all the displays will come back on.
ENG/MET (EnglishMetric): You can change the
display from English (miles) to metric (kilometers) by
pressing this button. The same button also changes other
readings (like temperature, fuel and odometer).
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).
INFORMATION: Pressing this button repeatedly will
display the AVG
MPG, FUEL USED, AVG MPH, OIL
LIFE LEFT, ENGINE RPM, BATTERY VOLTS and
COOLANT TEMP.
TIMER: This feature is like a stopwatch, in that you
can clock the time it takes to get from one point
to another.
To operate, press the TIMER button until TIMER
0O:OO:OO is displayed on the DIC. Each of the fields for
the hours, minutes and seconds are
two numeric digits.
Once TIMER
OFF 0O:OO:OO is displayed, press the
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,
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded.
If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If the
wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes
be repaired). See your
Cadillac dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts. This way, you will
be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your Cadillac
model.
A CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, make your tires lose
air and make you
lose control. You could have
a collision in which
you or others could be injured.
Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance and tire
or tire chain clearance
to
the body and chassis.
See “Changing
a Flat Tire” in the Index for
more information.
