2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE instrument panel

2-73 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
The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer button
is located to the left of
the steering wheel on
the instrument panel.The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B.
In order to change from one mode to the other, press
the A/B portion of the TRIP button.
By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell
how many miles have been recorded on either Trip A
or Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear
to reset each trip mode.
If your vehicle is first sold in the United States, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles (1 609 km).
If your vehicle is first sold in Canada, the trip odometer
will return to zero after 1 999.9 km (1,242 miles).
The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets the trip
mode (A or B) that is being displayed. Each trip mode
must be reset individually.

When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They're a big help.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center (DIC)
that works along with the warning lights and gages.
See ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º in the Index
for more information.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.

also come on and stay on
for about 70 seconds.
If the driver's belt is
already buckled, the light
will come on briefly, but the
chime will not sound.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG or the air bag symbol.
The system checks the air bag's electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. The system check includes the air bag sensors,
the air bag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more information on the
air bag system, see ªAir Bagº in the Index.
United States Canada
This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and
it will flash for a few seconds. Then the light should go
out. This means the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.

2-111 Comfort Controls and Radio
System Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see ªClimate Control
Personalizationº and ªRadio Personalizationº in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel.
For more information on the DIC, see ªDIC Messagesº
in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first started after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual
outside conditions as possible. This is determined
by how much time has elapsed since the vehicle has
been turned off and by vehicle speed.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) -- STS Only
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response.
If the controller detects a problem within the system,
the DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
message. If this message appears, have your vehicle
serviced at your dealership.

delivery mode and temperature to your previously
programmed settings.When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor ducts, the instrument panel or windshield
outlets. The fan speed will vary as the system maintains
the selected temperature setting.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75
F (24
C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the TEMP knob to adjust the temperature if
necessary. If you choose 60
F (16
C), the system will
remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not
regulate fan speed. If you choose 90
F (32
C), the system
will remain at that maximum heating setting and will not
regulate fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will
not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor cycles on and off when needed to cool the
air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need for
heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor ducts. As
the interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the
fan speed will decrease. To maintain interior comfort,
the airflow may move to the instrument panel air outlets
and floor ducts. On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the airflow may come out of the instrument panel outlets
to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
