Press and release&on the
liftgate adjacent to the latch to
close the liftgate.
Pressing any liftgate button, or the
touchpad switch while the liftgate
is moving, stops it. Pressing the
button or RKE switch again
reverses the direction. There is a
minimum distance that the power
liftgate must already be open for the
system to hold it open. If movement
is stopped below that minimum, the
liftgate closes. Do not force the liftgate open or
closed during a power cycle.
The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under
extreme temperatures or low
battery conditions. If this occurs,
the liftgate can still be operated
manually.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) while the power function
is in progress, the liftgate power
function will continue to completion.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) and accelerate before the
power liftgate latch is closed, the
liftgate may reverse to the open
position. Cargo could fall out of
the vehicle. Always make sure the
power liftgate is closed and latched
before you drive away.
If you power open the liftgate and
the liftgate support struts have lost
pressure, the turn signals flash
and a chime sounds. The liftgate
stays open temporarily, then slowly
closes. See your dealer for service
before using the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close
cycle, a warning chime will sound
and the liftgate will automatically
reverse direction to the full closed
or open position. After removing
the obstruction, the power liftgate
operation can be used again.
If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
The Power Liftgate Unavailable
warning message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will
display. After removing the
obstructions, the liftgate will
resume normal power operation.
The vehicle has pinch sensors
located on the side edges of the
liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the body
and presses against this sensor,
the liftgate will reverse direction and
open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or
closed manually.

information on filling the windshield
washer fluid.
{WARNING
In freezing weather, do not
use your washer until the
windshield is warmed. Otherwise
the washer fluid can form ice on
the windshield, blocking your
vision.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass
receives its heading and other
information from Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak,
and vehicle speed information. Avoid covering the GPS antenna
for long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
See
Multi-Band Antenna on
page 7‑19 for the location of the
vehicle's antennas. The compass
system is designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or degrees
of turn before needing a signal
from the GPS satellites. When the
compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can receive
a GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See Compass
Messages on page 5‑34 for more
information on the messages that
may be displayed for the compass.
Clock (Analog Clock)
The analog clock is located on the
instrument panel above the radio.
The clock is not connected with any
other vehicle system and runs by
itself. To adjust the clock:
1. Locate the adjustment buttons directly below the clock face.
2. Push and hold either adjustment button to advance or reverse the
clock hands. Holding the buttons
down will cause the clock to
advance faster. Release the
buttons before reaching the
desired time.
3. Push and release the buttons to increase the time by one minute
increments until the desired time
is reached.

5-12 Instruments and Controls
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in either kilometers
per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new
one is set to the mileage of the old
odometer. If this is not possible, it is
set at zero and a label is put on the
driver door to show the old mileage
reading.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice:If the engine is operated
with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area, the vehicle could
be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the tachometer
in the shaded warning area.
Fuel Gauge
Metric

Black plate (14,1)Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2011
5-14 Instruments and Controls
English
The gauge shows the fuel usage
that the vehicle is currently
achieving in MPG and in liters
per 100 kilometers (¹/100 km).
MIN/20: Is when the least efficient
fuel economy usually occurs during
acceleration or when idling.
MAX/¹/100: Is when the best fuel
economy is being achieved.
This gauge moves often as it is an
instantaneous calculation based on
current driving conditions.
Turbo Gauge (2.8L Only)
For vehicles with a turbo gauge, it
indicates when the vehicle is using
turbo power. When the needle is at rest at
the left of the gauge, turbo is not
being used.
As the accelerator peddle is
pressed the needle may move
to the right. This is normal and
means that the vehicle is using
turbo power. Under normal
conditions the needle will not
display a reading in the red.
Once the driver eases off
the accelerator pedal or the
transmission shifts, the needle
moves back into the left area
of the gauge.
