2003 Cadillac Escalade Owner's Manual - Page 176

Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your vehicie's odometer works together with the driver information center. You can set a personal trip and business trip odometer. See "Trip Information" under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-47. The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Simply press the trip stem on the instrument panel cluster. If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer. Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled. The safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will flash for several more. Tachometer Your tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Notice: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area, or engine damage may occur. If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. 3-33
