Starting and Operating Instructions

■ SPEED LIMITER

Engine Speed Limiter

When the RPM are too high, the
throttle is closed to reduce 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.
If your vehicle is a CTS-V
model, the tracer lights will flash as
the engine approaches the
maximum engine speed.
See "Tachometer" in Section 1 for
more information.

■ VEHICLE LOADING

CAUTION
Things you put inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or turn,
or in a crash. Put things in the
cargo area of your vehicle and
try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack things inside the
vehicle any higher than the
seatbacks. Do not leave
unsecured child restraints inside
the vehicle. Try to secure
anything that is carried inside
the vehicle. Do not leave a seat
folded down unless you have
to.
NOTICE
Your vehicle's warranty does
not cover parts or components
that fail because of overloading.
It is very important to know how
much weight your vehicle can
carry.
This weight is called the Vehicle
Capacity Weight.
This figure includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
See "Tire and Loading Information
Label" later in this section for more
information.
