7. Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in thousands of
revolutions per minute (RPM).
If your vehicle is a CTS-V
model, your tachometer has
tracer lights that follow the
sweep of the indicator.
The tracer lights will flash to
show you when to shift to the
next higher gear.
See the following in Section 3
for more information:
- Automatic Transmission
Driver Shift Control
- Automatic Transmission Tap
Up/Tap Down Shift Controls
- Manual Transmission
When the RPM are too high,
the throttle is closed to reduce
speed.
Section 1
If your vehicle is a CTS-V
model, the tracer lights will
flash as the engine approaches
the maximum engine speed.
If the RPM do not decrease,
the fuel supply to the engine
will be limited in order to avoid
damage to the engine.
When the RPM return to
normal operating range, the
fuel supply will return to
normal.
NOTICE
Do not operate the engine with
the tachometer in the shaded
warning area, or engine
damage may occur.
This could lead to costly repairs
not covered by your warranty.
