Instruments and Controls 5-13
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in either kilometers
per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper‐resistant
odometer. The digital odometer will
read 999,999 if it is turned back.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, it must be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer.
If that is not possible, then it must
be set at zero and a label must be
put on the driver door to show the
old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can record the
number of kilometers or miles
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 5‑27.
For vehicles that have the
navigation system, see the
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 9‑26 or
Manual Transmission on page 9‑31
for more information.
Fuel Gauge
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates how much fuel is
left in the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates the side of the vehicle
the fuel door is on.
