odometer CADILLAC SEVILLE 1998 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Trip Odometer
There are two trip
odometers, which are indicated by Trip
A
and Trip B. Press the top
of the button
to reset the odometers. For
information on resetting these buttons, see “Control
Buttons”
in the Index.
Display Mode
This button is located between the trip odometer button
and the EnglishMetric display button. Press
DSPL
MODE to turn the backlighting and the digital speed
image on and off.
EnglisWetric Display
You can go back and forth
from English (miles) to
metric (kilometers) by
pressing this button.
In order to switch from one to the other, press the Ah3
portion of the button. By pressing this button, you can tell
how many miles you have traveled on either your Trip
A
or Trip B odometer since you last set the odometer back
to zero. Other readings such
as temperature, fuel and trip
odometer also go back and forth between English and metric.

These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings
as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see “Climate Control
Personalization” and “Radio Personalization” in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
when your vehicle is running unless an overriding
Driver Information Center message appears. You can
change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
pressing the ENGMET (EnglisWmetric) button on the
instrument panel. For more information on the Driver
Information Center, see “Driver Information Center
Messages” in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine
is
first stared after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected.
This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by vehicle speed.
Control Buttons
RESET TRIP AB: By
using this button, you can
tell how far.you’ve gone
since you last set the trip
reset 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). The TRIP RESET button only

Used Reti ----Yt Wheels
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used or
how far
it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Cha’ s

Use tire chains only where legal and only when
you must. Use only
SAE Class “S” type chains
that are the proper size for your tires. Install
them on the front tires and tighten them
as
tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructions.
If you can hear the
chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten
them.
If the contact continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels
with chains on will damage your vehicle.
