Instrument Cluster: Cadillac CT6 2020 Display Guide
Within the 2020 Cadillac CT6, the instrument cluster is the main source of information, giving drivers important details about the car’s state and performance. The cluster is located behind the steering wheel and has a high-tech screen with bright colors and easy-to-understand drawings. This digital dashboard gives drivers access to a wide range of symbols and lights, each of which tells them something important about different parts and functions of the car. The instrument cluster gives drivers a lot of information so they can make smart choices while they’re driving. It has warning lights for things like low tire pressure or engine problems, as well as helpful icons that show when features like cruise control or lane departure warning are turned on. For Cadillac CT6 owners, the easy-to-use interface and clear icons make driving more seamless, which increases both safety and comfort.

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.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven since the trip odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and reset through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0 150.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). For vehicles with the Stop/Start system, when the ignition is on, the tachometer indicates the vehicle status. When pointing to AUTO STOP, the engine is off but the vehicle is on and can move. The engine could auto-start at any time. When the indicator points to OFF, the vehicle is off.
When the engine is on, the tachometer will indicate the engine’s revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer may vary by several hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode, when the engine is shutting off and restarting.
Caution
If the engine is operated with the rpm’s in the warning area at the high end of the tachometer, the vehicle could be damaged, and the damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not operate the engine with the rpm’s in the warning area.
Fuel Gauge
Base Level Standard Theme
Uplevel Balanced Configuration
When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge indicates how much fuel is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator is empty, the low fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel left, but the vehicle should be refueled soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gauge:
- At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gauge reads full.
- It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gauge indicated. For example, the gauge may have indicated the tank was half full, but it took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.
- The gauge moves a little while turning a corner or speeding up.
- The gauge takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on, and goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off.

Boost Gauge (Performance Configuration Only)
This gauge indicates a boost under heavier throttle. It displays the air pressure level in the intake manifold before it enters the engine’s combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered at zero every time the engine is started. The actual boost is displayed from this zero point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as driving in mountains and changing weather, will slightly change the zero reading.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge (Base Level Cluster Only)
Metric, Standard Theme Shown
English, Standard Theme Shown
The engine oil pressure gauge shows the engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running.
Oil pressure can vary with engine speed, outside temperature, and oil viscosity.
On some models, the oil pump will vary engine oil pressure according to engine needs. Oil pressure may change quickly as the engine speed or load varies. This is normal.
If the oil pressure warning light or Driver Information Center (DIC) message indicates oil pressure outside the normal operating range, check the vehicle’s oil as soon as possible.
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. Driving with the engine oil low can also damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil level as soon as possible. Add oil if required, but if the oil level is within the operating range and the oil pressure is still low, have the vehicle serviced. Always follow the maintenance schedule for changing engine oil.
Engine Oil Temperature Gauge (Performance Configuration Only)
This gauge shows the engine oil temperature. If the gauge pointer moves into the high end, it means that the engine oil has overheated. If the vehicle has been operated under normal driving conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
