LOCK
With the anti-lock brake system, one of these lights will
come on when you start your engine and may stay on for
several seconds. That’s normal. 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.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when
you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you if there
is a problem.

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.
