HOW TO USE THIS lMANuAL
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they
fist receive their new vehicle.
This will help you learn ,about the featuges
and controls,for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and
words work together to explain things quickly.
INDEX: A good place to look for what you need is the Index in back of
the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of all that’s in the manual, and the
page number where you’ll find it.
SAFETY WMINGSAND SYMBOLS
You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box with
gray background and the word
CAUTION to tell you about things that
could hurt you
if you were to ignore the warning.
In the gray caution area,
we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you
what to
do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions.
If you don’t, you or others could be hurt.
You will also find a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,” “Don’t do this,” or “Don’t let this happen.”

Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle.
In the 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.
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.

You can tell how far
you’ve gone 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 will 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 will read the correct mileage. This is because your
car’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.
WARNING 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.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
