Cadillac 2009 Speedometer and Odometer, Trip Odometer, Tachometer, Safety Belt Reminders

Speedometer and Odometer

The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).

The odometer works together with the Driver Information Center (DIC). Press the Trip/Fuel button on the instrument panel cluster to check the odometer mileage while the vehicle is not running. See “Odometer” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-42for more information.

If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of

the old odometer.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can show how far the vehicle has been driven since the trip odometer was last set to zero.

For more information see “Trip Odometer” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-42.

Tachometer

The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).

Safety Belt Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the engine is started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind a driver to fasten the safety belt, unless the driver safety belt is already buckled.

The safety belt light comes on and stays on for several seconds, then flashes for several more.

This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on.
