2000 CADILLAC DEVILLE battery

2-87
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.
On the analog cluster, fuel data can be obtained by
pressing the INFO button. See ªDriver Information
Centerº in the Index.

Driver Information Center (DIC) 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 problem. You must
then press INFO or INFO RESET to clear the display
screen for further use. However, be sure to take any
message that appears on the display screen seriously and
note that pressing the INFO or INFO RESET button will
only make the message disappear, not the problem.
Most messages can be removed from the display by
pressing the INFORMATION or RESET Digital Control
buttons, (if equipped) or by pressing the INFO RESET
or INFO Analog Control buttons (if equipped) while the
message is being displayed.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French, German,
Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to have the
language display adjusted for your vehicle.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
- 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
- 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At
the point that features are disabled, this message is
displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save the
charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary accessories
to allow the battery to recharge.
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
- 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine
is running.

2-90
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge while driving but may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
(be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions) to
boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem. To
help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you can
reduce the load on the electrical system by turning off
the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the
DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
- 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed
within 200 miles. See ªEngine Oilº and ªFilter
Recommendationsº in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must
be reset. See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in
the Index.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.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
- 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in ON to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See ªBrake
System Warning Lightº in the Index.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
- 2: This message
will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant.
Have the cooling system serviced by a technician as
soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE

This message will appear when the fuel supply is less
than 5 gallons (18.9 L) and the display is turned off.
A single chime will also sound when this message

CHECK GAS CAP
- 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
