In the blue notice area, we tell you about something that can damage
your vehicle. Many times,
this damage would not be covered by your
warranty, and it could be costly. But the notice
will tell you what to do to
help avoid the damage. r
When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or in different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors that Cadillac has used for years.
You’ll
also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same colors,
and
the words CAUTION or NOTICE.

odometer)
go between English and metric.
Trip Odometer
You can tell how far
you’ve
gonc since you
last set it back to zero.
To reset, push and hold
the button until it
zeros.
If your vehicle
is domestic, the trip odometer WIII return to zero after
999.9 miles (1609 km). If your vehicle is Canadian or Export, the trip
odometer will return
to zero after 1999.9 km (1242 miles).
Odometer
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one may read the correct mileage. This is because your
car’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.
If it isn’t stored, then
this odometer is set at zero, but
a label on the driver’s door must show the
old reading and when the new one was installed.
‘WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that may be 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.
