Speedometer And Odometer; Tachometer; Engine Speed Limiter; Safety Belt Reminders - Cadillac 2008 SRX Owner's Manual

Speedometer and Odometer

The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). See
"SPEEDOMETER" under DIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-48 for more information.
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Your vehicle's odometer works together
with the driver information center. You can set a Trip A
and a Trip B odometer. See "Trip Fuel" under DIC
Operation and Displays on page 3-48 for more
information.
If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed,
the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of
the old odometer.

Tachometer

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
rpms 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 Reminders

Safety Belt Reminder Light

When the engine is started, 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.
This chime and light is repeated if the driver remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. 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.
