Engine Speed Limiter; Safety Belt Reminder Light - Cadillac 2004 CTS Owner's Manual

Tachometer
Notice: If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle
could be damaged, and the damages would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not operate the engine
with the tachometer in the shaded warning area.
This gage indicates the
engine speed in
revolutions per
minute (rpm).

Engine Speed Limiter

This feature prevents the engine from operating at
too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the
engine's rpm are too high, the throttle is closed to
reduce speed, if this is not sufficient, then the fuel
supply to the engine will be limited. When the rpms
return to normal, the fuel supply will return to normal.
This helps prevent damage to the engine.

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the key is turned to ON 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.
If the driver's belt is already buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay on
for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
