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
in English mode, showing miles.

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.
