2014 Cadillac CTS Owner Manual - Page 135

Instruments and Controls 5-13 Speedometer The speedometer shows the vehicle's speed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information Center (DIC); for more information see Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-27. For vehicles that have the navigation system, see the navigation manual for more information. Odometer The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven, in either kilometers or miles. This vehicle has a tamper‐resistant odometer. The digital odometer will read 999,999 if it is turned back. If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, it must be set to the mileage total of the old odometer. If that is not possible, then it must be set at zero and a label must be put on the driver door to show the old mileage reading when the new odometer was installed. The CTS-V tachometer has tracer lights that follow the movement of the tachometer indicator. The tracer lights also flash when it is time to up-shift to avoid the engine speed limit. See Automatic Transmission on page 9-26 or Manual Transmission on page 9-31 for more information. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Fuel Gauge { Caution If the engine is operated with the tachometer in the shaded warning area, the vehicle could be damaged, and the damages would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area. Trip Odometer The trip odometer can record the number of kilometers or miles traveled for up to two trips. When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge indicates how much fuel is left in the tank.
