his option allows you
open up to three
garage doors. The
transmitter
unit fits
into the map light
console.
Your Cadillac dealer can tell you about
the hand held power pack unit

the installation you’ll need at home to make this work. If your
Cadillac is equipped with an Electriclears heated windshield, you’ll have
to be closer to the garage door for the transmitter unit to work.

press the lever at the front edge. Inside is a dual cupholder which can be

Your instrument panel is designed to let you know at a glance how your
Cadillac is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, how much fuel
you’re using, and many of other things you’ll need
to know to drive safely
and economically.
SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph)
and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used
in the U.S.) or kilometers
(used in Canada).

You can go back and
forth from English
(miles) to metric
(kilometers) by
pushing this button.
___ The same button also makes other readings (like temperature, fuel and
odometer) go between English and metric.
Trip Odometer
You can tell how far you’ve gone since you last set it back to zero. To
reset, just push the button.
If you have the Digital speedometer and odometer, there’s one special
thing to know. You may see the trip odometer get to about
621 miles and
then return to zero. Here’s why:
If you have the system on Metric and you
set the odometer back to zero, it
will turn back to zero again after you’ve
driven 999.9 km
(621 miles). If you have changed to English during that
trip, it will still roll back to zero at 999.9 km
(621 miles). To make the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Odometer
Your Cadillac has a “tamper-resistant odometer.” On the analog
odometer, if
you see silver lines between the numbers, probably someone
has tried to turn it back.
The numbers may not be true. If you have the
optional digital odometer, it will say
ERROR if someone has tampered
with it.
You may wonder what happens
if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. If possible, the new one
has to be set to the same reading the
old one had.
If it can’t be, then it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s
door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go 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 turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.

driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Pkase
follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light goes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light shoula
come
on and turn off as you
start the vehicle. If it
doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it will
be ready to warn you
if
there’s a problem.
This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and will
- stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your
parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem. If the
light comes on while driving, pull
off the road and stop carefully. You may
-_ notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service.
(See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)

I
Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
warning light is on. Driving with the brake warning light
on can I
lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off
the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for
service. 1’
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds or
so. 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 or comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon
as
possible and turn the key off. Then start the engine to reset the system. If
the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your
Cadillac needs service. Unless the regular brake system warning light is
also
on, you will still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, see “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with

a full-size tire, or if it comes
on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.
Traction Control System Warning Light (Option)
WER
When your traction
control system
is
working, the message
“TRACTION
ACTIVE”
will appear
in your information
center. This means
that slippery road
conditions may exist.
The “TRACTION
OFF” warning light
means that the system
is not working. This
warning light may
come on for the
following reasons:
If your transaxle overheats, the traction control system automatically
shuts
off for about three minutes. The warning light will come on and
stay on during that time.
If your brakes overheat, the traction control system will shut off and
the warning light
will come on until your brakes cool down.
