Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
ANTI-
LOCK (0 ABS)
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come on when you start
your engine and may stay on
for several seconds. That’s normal. If the
light doesn’t come on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there
is a problem.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition 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.
If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s
a problem with your
regular brakes.
See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.
Traction Disabled Message
If this message is displayed, there’s a problem with your traction control
system and your vehicle needs service. When this message is displayed,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows
approximately how
much fuel is in your
tank. It works only
when the ignition is
in
the RUN position.
PREMIUM UNLEADED
FUEL
ONLY
-_ Digital Gage
i-
If the fuel level is within approximately one gallon (3.8 liters) of being full,
the letter
F is shown.
If the fuel level is between one and two gallons (3.8 and 7.6 liters) from
being empty, the letter
E is shown. If the fuel supply gets down to
approximately one gallon (3.8 liters), the E will flash and the FUEL
LEVEL VERY LOW message will appear in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
(On the analog fuel gage, the FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW
message will also appear.)
Here are a few concerns
some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of
these situations are ilormal and indicate that nothing is wrong with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads E
It takes more (or less) gas to fill the tank than the gage said. For
example, the gage read
8 GALLONS, but it took more (or less) than
the tank’s remaining capacity to
fill it.
The gage may change when you turn, stop or speed up.

Your Fuel Data Panel tells you all you need to know about your fuel
economy and how far you can travel with the fuel remaining. Here's how
it works.
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 your 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
two liters per 100 Kilometers).

The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks you can travel
with the fuel that is in your 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 your recent fuel economy. Therefore, your 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,
however,
so it will read LO when your vehicle is brand new (under 25
miles). It may also show LO if your battery has been disconnected.
Driver Information Center
Your Driver Information Center (DIC) display gives you the status of
many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is used to display driver
selectable information and warning/status messages.
If more than one problem is detected, the Driver Information Center will
automatically display all current messages.
