2010 Cadillac Escalade Owner's Manual - Page 221

Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer shows the vehicle's speed in both kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph). The vehicle's odometer works together with the Driver Information Center (DIC). The Trip odometer can be set. See "Trip Odometer" under DIC Operation and Displays on page 4‑42 for more information. To check the odometer mileage while the vehicle is not running, press the trip stem on the instrument panel cluster. If the vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Safety Belt Reminders Driver 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 flashes for several seconds, then comes on solid for several more. 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 4‑42. This chime and light sequence 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. 4-29
