Driver Information Center (Dic) - Cadillac 2007 XLR Owner's Manual

Here are five things that some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
•
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads the full symbol.
•
It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage reads
half full, but it took more (or less) than half of
the tank's capacity to fit it.
•
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
•
The gage may not indicate the tank is empty
when the ignition is turned off.
•
The gage reading may change slightly within
the first several minutes after starting the
vehicle.
You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC)
to display more detailed fuel information. While
scrolling through the DIC, you will also find:
•
AVERAGE XX.X MPG (Average Miles Per
Gallon): The fuel economy calculated for
the last 20 gallons (76 L) of fuel used, or since
you last reset the display.
•
INST XX.X MPG (Instantaneous Miles Per
Gallon): The fuel economy calculated for
your current driving conditions.
•
RANGE XXX MI: The approximate distance
you can drive before refueling.
See DIC Controls and Displays on page 204 for
more information.
You should reset the fuel information display every
time you refuel. To reset AVERAGE, use the
information up or down button to scroll to AVE
FUEL ECON and hold the reset button. RANGE
will automatically reset.

This display gives you the status of many of
your vehicle's systems. The DIC is also used to
display driver personalization features and
warning/status messages. All messages will
appear in the DIC display, located at the bottom of
the instrument panel cluster.
