The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour
(mph) and kilometers per hour (kmh). 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 vehcle’s computer
has stored
the mileage in memory.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It’s based on the engine oil temperatures and
your driving patterns.
To see the display, press the
INFORMATION
(INFO) button several times until XX
OIL LIFE LEFT appears. If you see 99% OIL LIFE
LEFT, 99 percent of your current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHECK OK, 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 (INFO RESET) button until the display
shows
100% OIL LIE LEFT.
