Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key has been turned off. The RKE will
also be disabled at
this point. The RKE will reactivate
when a door or the
trunk is opened, however, if your
vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes, the RKE
will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key is turned out of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the door key is inserted into the door,
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled.

The speeaometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). The
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 vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer
has stored the mileage
in memory.

With the anti-lock brake system, the light(s) 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 to 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.

Digital Cluster
For vehicles equipped with an analog cluster (not shown), fuel data can be obtained by pressing the
INFO button. See “Analog Control Buttons” later in
this section.
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.

BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM - 10s: The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted
or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your Cadillac dealership.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and
it should be changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations”
in the Maintenance Schedule booklet.
After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the Index on how to reset it.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CJ3ECK 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 (15.2 L)
and the display is turned off (digital clusters only).
A single chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
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.
