2005 CADILLAC XLR glove box

Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver’s seat. It also makes things look farther away
than they really are.

LOW OIL PRESSURE:If this message appears while
the engine is running, stop the engine and do not
operate it until the cause of low oil pressure is corrected.
Severe damage to the engine can result. A multiple
chime will sound when this message is displayed.
LOW VOLTAGE: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 nal destination.
If this message appears while driving or after starting
your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately
by your GM dealer 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.
LOW WASHER FLUID:This message means that your
vehicle is low on windshield washer uid. See
Windshield Washer Fluid on page 6-32.MAX SPEED XX MPH (XX KM/H):A failure in the
magnetic ride control system has occurred when this
message appears. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) determines the speed to which your vehicle is
limited. Have your vehicle serviced by your GM dealer if
this message appears.
NO FOB DETECTED:This message is displayed if the
vehicle does not detect the presence of a keyless
access transmitter when you have attempted to start the
vehicle or a vehicle door has just closed. The following
conditions may cause this message to appear:
Driver-added equipment, such as two-way radios or
power inverters, is causing interference. Try moving
the keyless access transmitter away from these
devices when starting the vehicle.
The vehicle is experiencing Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as airports
or some gas stations, have EMI elds which may
interfere with your keyless access transmitter. If
moving the transmitter to different locations within the
vehicle does not help, place the transmitter in the
glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons facing
to the right and then press the START button.
