2007 CADILLAC SRX display

Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel cluster, which shows the airbag
symbol. The system checks the airbag’s
electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells
you if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes the airbag sensors, the
airbag modules, the wiring and the diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System on page 70.
This light will come on
when the ignition key is
turned to ON and it
will ash for a
few seconds.
Then the light should go out. This means the
system is ready. If it does not go out, have your
vehicle serviced right away.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on while you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly. The
airbags in your vehicle may not inate in
a crash, or they could even inate without
a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle serviced right
away if the airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle.
If there is a problem with the airbag system in
your vehicle, the SERVICE AIR BAG message
will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 220for more information.

All of the following situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the
fuel gage:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
The gage may change when you turn, stop
quickly or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank
than the gage indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated that the tank was half full,
but it actually took a little more or less than half
the tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the
status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC
is also used to display warning/status messages.
All messages will appear in the DIC display located
at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below
the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons
are located on the instrument panel, to the left of
the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display the information
that was last displayed before the engine was
turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status
messages. The bottom line of the DIC display
shows the odometer on the left side, the outside
air temperature on the right side, and the shift
position indicator in the center. For more
information on the shift position indicator, see
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 122.
214

When the sport mode is active, an S will appear
next to the shift position indicator on the center of
the DIC display. When the manual mode is
active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When
the normal mode is active, only the shift position
indicator will appear. While the Driver Shift Control
(DSC) feature is active, the DIC will change to
show the selected gear. See″Driver Shift Control
(DSC)″underAutomatic Transmission Operation
on page 122for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the display. Be sure to take any
message that appears on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the message will only
make the message disappear, not correct the
problem.DIC Controls and Displays
The Driver Information
Center (DIC) has
different displays which
can be accessed by
pressing the DIC
buttons located on the
instrument panel, to
the left of the steering
wheel.

(Trip/Fuel):The following display menu
items can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel
button:
TRIP A or TRIP B
These displays show the current distance traveled
since the last reset for each trip odometer in
either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Both
odometers can be used at the same time. Each
trip odometer can be reset to zero separately
by pressing and holding the set/reset button for a
few seconds while the desired trip odometer is
displayed.
FUEL RANGE
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you
can drive without relling your fuel tank. This
estimate is based on the current driving conditions
and will change if the driving conditions change.
For example, if you are driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, the display may read one
number, but if you enter the freeway, the
number may change even though you still have
the same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This
is because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy than city
driving.
Once the range drops below about 30 miles
(48 km) remaining, the display will show FUEL
RANGE LOW.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL
LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL
LEVEL LOW” underDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 220for more information.
216

AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE)
This display shows the approximate average

reset. To reset this display, press the set/reset
button. The display will return to zero.
INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE)
This display shows the current fuel economy in
either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
