Speedometer And Odometer; Trip Odometer - Cadillac 2005 DeVille 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).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have
a new odometer installed. The new one may read
the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle's
computer has stored the mileage in memory.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B.
In order to change from one mode to the other,
press the A/B portion of the TRIP button.
By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell how
many miles have been recorded on either Trip A or
Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear
to reset each trip mode.
If your vehicle is first sold in the United States, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles (1 609 km).
If your vehicle is first sold in Canada, the trip odometer
will return to zero after 1,242 miles (1 999 km). The
RESET TRIP A/B button only resets the trip mode
(A or B) that is being displayed. Each trip mode must be
reset individually.
Display Mode
On vehicles equipped with the analog cluster, this
button is located between the trip odometer and
ENG/MET button to the left of the steering wheel on the
instrument panel. Press DSPL MODE to turn the
backlighting and the digital speed image on and off.
On vehicles equipped with the digital cluster, press
DSPL MODE to turn the digital displays other than the
speedometer and gear display on and off.
