Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
If this vehicle has to have a new
odometer installed, the new one
may read the correct mileage. This
is because the vehicle 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 is part of the
Driver Information Center (DIC),
for more information see Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on
page 4‑31
.
For vehicles that have the
navigation system, see your
Navigation System manual for
more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice: If the engine is operated
with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area, the vehicle could
be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded warning area.
The CTS-V tachometer has tracer
lights that follow the movement of
the tachometer indicator. The tracer
lights also flash when it is time to
up-shift to avoid the engine speed
limit. See Automatic Transmission
on page 8‑26
or Manual
Transmission
on page 8‑30
for
more information.
Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage tells you about how much fuel
you have left in your tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There is still
a little fuel left in the vehicle, but the
fuel tank should be filled soon.
