Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph)
and kilometers per hour (kmih). Your odometer shows how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
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.

ENG
You can go back and
forth from English
(miles) to metric
(kilometers) by

The same button also makes other readings (like temperature, fuel and

WMING LIGHTS
This part 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 come
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 start the engine 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
this 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.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information Center‘‘ in the Index.

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 comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
One of these lights should come on briefly 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.
If the light comes on while you are 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.)
The brake system warning light will also come
on when you set your
parking brake, and it 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.

ANTI-
LOCK (0 ABS)
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come on when you start
your engine and may stay on
for several seconds. 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, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition
off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays
on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service.
If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s
a problem with your
regular brakes.
See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.
