. ,..^ . I/ ,; .. . . , . . . .., . . . .
The fuel data panel tells you all you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
fuel remaining.
Press the AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon (AVG MPG). You can also display
it in
metric units by pressing the ENG MET button.
When AVG MPG
is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total fuel used. When the
INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is
selected, you will see what the fuel economy
is at that
instant. The computer takes
a new reading twice every
second. It will show economy up to
70 miles-per-gallon
(or
2 L per 100 km).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG
MPG is
displayed on the
DIC. Press and hold the RESET button
until both the fuel data center and DIC display reads 0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest
of your trip, so the range is estimated
based on
the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change
as your driving habits change.
Going from city to highway driving
may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon as possible. Your computer needs enough data
for the RANGE reading to work.

Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first ,,
sold in Canada will'have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify ,the message which is only
displayed in English.
.
Ak OFF FOR ENGINE PROTECTION - 16: This
message displays when the engine coolant becomes
hotter than the normal operating temperature. To avoid
added strain on a hot engine, the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned
oft so that air
conditioned air is not delivered.
If the coolant
temperature returns to normal, you must seIect AC to
return to a' normal A/C compressor operation.
If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as soon as possible to avoid compressor damage.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT - 46: This message
will appear if your vehicle is
in PARK (P) for about
15 seconds and the brake is not pressed in. Remove the
message by holding the
OFF and the blue (cooler)
button on
the Electronic Climate Control panel for about
five seconds. Hold the same two buttons again to
redisplay the message.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL - 37: This message
will display if the ignition
is in the RUN position to
inform the driver that the brake fluid level is low. Check
the brake reservoir level and add fluid as needed. Have
the brake system serviced by a Cadillac technician as
soon as possible. If the brake warning light is on, follow
the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 02: This message will
appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician as
soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE - 39: This message will appear
when the
fuel supply is less than four gallons (I 5.2 L)
and the display is turned off (digital clusters only).
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface.
A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear
if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked
on level ground with the engine
off for at least
30 minutes, the oil level should be checked
by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level be sure
the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle
is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil”
in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message will
appear for several seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43: This message will appear
for a few seconds when you select a speed at which
to cruise.
DOOR OPEN - 141: The passenger’s door is open or
ajar when this message appears. The vehicle’s engine
must be running and the transaxle
not in PARK (P) for
this message to display.
A chime will also sound when
the vehicle’s speed is greater than
5 mph (8.1 km/h).
DRIVER DOOR OPEN - 140: This message
will display when the vehicle is being shifted out of
PARK (P) with the engine running to signal that the
driver’s door
is open or ajar. A chime will also sound
when the vehicle’s speed is greater than 5 mph
(8.1 km/h).
