Cadillac 2009 XLR Automobile User Manual


 
Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer displays the speed in either miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
There is only one scale for mph and km/h. Use the Driver
Information Center (DIC) controls to switch between mph
and km/h. See DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-57
for more information. The cluster will calculate the proper
speed and move the needle to the correct position. Either
the MPH or the km/h telltale will illuminate, depending on
which measurement is chosen.
The odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See DIC Operation and Displays on
page 3-57 for more information.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See DIC Operation and Displays on
page 3-57 for more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut off at about 6700 rpm.
If the vehicle is continually driven at the fuel shut off
rpm, the engine could be damaged. Be sure to operate
the vehicle below the fuel shut off rpm or reduce the
rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off.
