1998 CADILLAC SEVILLE mileage

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer 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.
Trip Odometer
There are two trip
odometers, which are indicated by Trip
A
and Trip B. Press the top
of the button
to reset the odometers. For
information on resetting these buttons, see “Control
Buttons”
in the Index.
Display Mode
This button is located between the trip odometer button
and the EnglishMetric display button. Press
DSPL
MODE to turn the backlighting and the digital speed
image on and off.
EnglisWetric Display
You can go back and forth
from English (miles) to
metric (kilometers) by
pressing this button.
In order to switch from one to the other, press the Ah3
portion of the button. By pressing this button, you can tell
how many miles you have traveled on either your Trip
A
or Trip B odometer since you last set the odometer back
to zero. Other readings such
as temperature, fuel and trip
odometer also go back and forth between English and metric.

This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns. To see the display, press the INFO
button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears.
If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your
current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL
message. Always keep a written record of the mileage
and date when
you changed your oil. For more
information, see the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If
you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life
is
gone and you should change the oil right away. The
system doesn't check
how much oil you have, so you'll
still have to check for that.
To see how, see "Engine Oil"
in the Index. The
system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the
vehicle has been driven
7,500 miles (12 500 km), it will
indicate to change the oil. If you drive
in a dusty area,
you should change your oil every
3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first)
unless the display indicates changing it sooner.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFO button. Then press and hold the INFO RESET
button until the display shows
100% ENGINE
OIL LIFE.
