And it explains the.Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, ox “air bag” system. This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. .(See “Safety Belt Reminder bight” in the Index.) In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.
You never knowif you'll be in a crash.If you do have a crash,you don't know if it willbe a bad one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between. In manyof them, peoplewho buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed. are clear. In After more than 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts most crashes buckling up does matter ...
r=! why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as-itgoes. the ! For example, if.the bike is going10 mph (16 km/h), so is child. F- i . . -Whenthe bike hits the block, itstops.

Shoulder Belt Tightness Adjustment Your Eldorado may be equippedwith a shoulder belt tightness adjustment feature. If the shoulder belt seemstoo tight, you can adjust it like this: 1. Sit well back in the seat. 2. Start pulling the shoulder beltout. 3. Just before it reaches the end, give it a quick pull.
.. i i _. ?I r I 5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then sit back.If you've added more than 1inch (25 mm) of slack, pullthe shoulder belt out as you did before and start again. r If you move around in the vehicle enough,or if you pullout theshoulder belt, the belt will become tight again.If this happens,you can reset it.
Q: What's wrong with this? 8 A: The shoulder beltis too loose. It won't give nearly as much protection thisway.
r . .I .. F i r A: The beltis buckled in the wrong place. i i- I 27 ,. . . ..
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The shoulder beltis worn under the arm. It should be worn overthe shoulder at all times.

If you slam the door on it, you can damage boththe belt and your vehicle. SUPPLEMENTL INFLATABLE R E S T U N T SYSTEM (AIR BAGS) This section explainsthe Supplemental Inflatable Restraint(SIR), or “air bag,’’ system. Your Cadillac has an air bag for both the driver andthe right-front passenger. 30 -.
i, Here’s the most important t,hingto know: r r - .
Air Bag ReadinessLight There is an air bag readiness lighton theinstrument panel,which has the system checks for electrical malfunctions, andthe light tells you if there is a problem. AIR BAG AIR BAG 32 You will see the “AIR BAG” light flashfor a few seconds when you turn your ignition to “Run” or “Start.” Then the light should go out, which means the system is ready.

Where is the air bag? The driver’s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right-front passenger’s air bagis located in the instrument panel on the passenger’s side.
n When is an air bag expected to.inflateT _ . ;:, .. ... ,-,' r I' Ir ,r r In any particular crash, the determination of whether the airbag should have inflatedcannot be based solelyon thelevel of damage on the vehicle(s). Inflation is determined.by theangle of the impact and the vehicle's dederation, of which vehicle damage is only one indication. Repair cost isnot a good indicator of whether an air bag should have deployed.
What makesan airbag inflate? In a frontalor near-frontal impactof sufficient severity,the air bag sensing system detects that the vehicle is suddenly stopping as a ofresult a crash.The sensing system triggers a chemical reaction of the sodium azide sealedin the inflator.The reaction produces nitrogen gas, which inflates a cloth bag. The inflator, cloth bag, and related hardware are all part of the air bag inflator modules packed inside the steering wheel and in the instrument panelin front of the passenger.
Servicing YourAir Bag-Equipped Cadilhc Air bags affecthow your Cadillac should be serviced. There are parts of the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your Cadillac dealer andthe 1994 Eldorado/Seville Service Manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system.The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.

For.pregnant women, as.for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is weariog them properly. r RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION I The right front passenger's safety belt works the same way as the driver's safety belt. See."Driver .Position," earlier in this part. When the lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock.If.
REAR SEAT PASSENGERS It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics showthat unbelted peoplein the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than thosewho are wearing safety belts. Rear passengerswho aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash.And they can strikeothers in the vehicle whoare wearing safety belts.

If the beltis not long enough, see "Safety Belt Extender" at theend of this section. Makesure the release button onthe buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety beltquickly if you ever had to. 3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle endof the belt asyou pullup on the shoulder part.
r .. . . 1 i I 7 I r i r r n I ~ I r r The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this appliesforce to the strong pelvic bones. And you'dbe less likelyto slide under thelap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would applyforce at your abdomen.This muld cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
To unlatch the belt, just pushthe button on the buckle. L CENTER PASSENGER POSITION /7 Lap Belt - Your vehicle has a rear bench seat, someone can sit in the center position.

I YOUR DRIVING AND THE ROAD I I Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included manyother useful tips on driving. DEFENSIVE DRIVTNG The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please start with a very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” inthe Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.

You neverknow when the vehicle infront of you is goingto brake or turn suddenly. 4,:w: 9 , s.7,- ”,, ’ r i ! 1 ‘ I : r r The Blood AlcohoKontent (BAC) of someone who is drinking..depends upon four things: 0 How much alcohol is in the drink. 0 The drinker’s body weight.
According to theAmerican Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person who drinksthree 12-ounce (355 ml) bottlesof beer in an hour will end up with a BACof about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BACby drinking three 4-ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor likewhiskey, gin or vodka. It’s the amount of alcohol that counts.

“I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer. Whatif there’s an emergency, a need to take sudden action, as when a child darts intothe street? A person with a higherBAC might not be ableto react quickly enoughto avoid the collision. There’ssomethingelseaboutdrinkinganddriving that manypeople don’t know. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuries worse. That’s especially true for brain, spinal cord and heart injuries.
You have three systems that make your vehiclego where youwant it to go. They .are thebrakes, the.steering and the accelerator. All three systems haveto do.their work at the places where the tires meet the road. P Sometimes, as when you're driving on snow or ice, it's easyto-askmore of those control systems thanthe tires and.road can provide.That.means you can.losecontrol of your vehide.. .
BRAKING Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you haveto decide to push onthe brake pedal. That’s perception time. Then you haveto bring up your foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction timeis about 3/4 of a second. But that’s only an average. It might be less withone driver and as long two as or three seconds or more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesight all play a part.So do alcohol, drugs and frustration.
PI Anti=LockBrakes (ABS) Your Cadillac hasan advanced electronic braking systemthat will help prevent skidding. This lighton the instrument panel will go on when youstart .. your vehicle. ANTILOCK r ., , . v I - I‘ 1 (@) ? When you start your vehicleand begin to drive away, you mayhear a momentary motor or clicking noise,And you may evennotice that your brake pedal moves a little while this is going on. ThistheisA B S system testing itself.
You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS. A computer sensesthat wheels are slowing down.If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling,the computer will separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the rear wheels. The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster thanany driver could. The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. fou can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
Ir i .’ r r Your vehicle hastraction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one or both of the frontwheels are spinning or-beginning to lose traction. When .thishappens, the system worksthe frontbrakes and reduces engine power (by shutting off fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin.
STEEMNG L_ Power Steering c - If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning,you can steer but itwill take much more effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’s important to take curvesat a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned the on news happen on curves. Here’swhy: Experienced driver or beginner, eachof us is subject to the same laws of physics when drivingon curves.
‘I Try to adjust your speedso you can ‘‘d&xCY through.thecurve. Maintain a .. reasonable,. steadyspeed, Wait to .accelerateuntil you are out of the curve, and then accelerate-gentlyinto thestraightaway. .:r r t d 5. r Steering in Emergencies r There aretimes whensteering canbe more effective.thanbraking. For example, you. come overhilla and,find a truck stopped in your lane, .or a car suddenly pulls. out from nowhere, ox a childdarts out€ r m betwe
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY You may find sometimethat your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a roadonto theshoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddlesthe edge of the pavement. You can turn the steering wheelup to1/4 turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge.
So here are some tips for passing: . 0 “Drive. ahead.” Look down the road, to thesides, and to crossroads .for situations that might affect your passing patterns. If you have any doubt ,whatsoeverabout making a successful. pass, wait for a.better time. 0 .Watch-for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines. ’Ifyou can see .a sign up ahead thatmight indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your pass. A broken center line usually .indicates it’s all right to pass ‘(providingthe road ahead isclear.
Try not to pass more thanone vehicle at a time on two-lane roads. Reconsider before passingthe next vehicle. Don’t overtake aslowly moving vehicletoo rapidly. Even though the brake lightsare not flashing, itmay be slowing downor starting to turn. If you’re being passed, make it easy for the following driverto get ahead of you. Perhaps you can ease alittle to theright.
i" r While driving on a surface with redueed tractio.n, try your.best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking (hciuding engine brakingby shifting to a lowergear). Any sudden changes could causethe tires to slide. You may not realizethe surface is slippery until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues-- such as enough water, ice or packed snow onthe road to make a "mirrored surface" -- and slow down when you have anydoubt.
Since you can’tsee as well,you may need to slow down and keep more space betweenyou and other vehicles. Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlights can light up onlyso much road ahead. In remote areas, watch for animals. If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. Night Vision No one can see as well at night asin the daytime. But aswe get older these differences increase.
r i r Rain and wetroads can mean drivingtrouble. On a wet road you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t .as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have muchtread left, you’ll get even lesstraction. It’s always wiseto go slowerand be cautious if rain starts tofall while youare driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexesare tunedfor driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the ha&r it is to see.,Eveni f your windshield.
Driving too fast through large water puddlesor even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can't, totryslow down before you hit them.

CITYDRZWNG One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll wantto watch out forwhat the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here areways to increase your safety in city driving: 0 Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a citymap and plan yourtrip into an unknownpart of the city justas you wouldfor a cross-country trip. 0 Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time and energy.
jr FREEWAYDRZWNG f i ' IE r r F 'p - F I Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important:advice on:freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic-and keep to theright. Driveat thesame speed most of the otherdrivers are driving. Too-fastor too-slow drivingbreaks a smooth.trafficflow. Treat thedeft lane on a freeway asa passing lane.
Before changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use turn yoursignal. Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make sure there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind” spot. Once you are moving on the freeway, makecertain you allow.a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slowerat night. When you want to leave the freeway, move to theproper lane well in advance. If you missyour exit do not, underany circumstances, stop and back up. Driveon to the next exit.

HILL AND MOUNTMN ROADS Driving on steephills or mountains is different from driving in orflat rolling terrain. If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you’re planningto visit there, here are some tipsthat can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle. These parts can work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go down hills.
1 P rI 7 I t r 0 Know how to go uphill.You may want to shift downto a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engineand transaxle, and you can climb the hill better. Stay in yourown lane when driving on two-lane roads in hillsor mountains.-Don't swing wide or cut.across thecenter of the road. Drive at speeds that let you stay in your own lane. As you go over the topof a hill,be alert. There could be something in your lane, like a stalledcar or anaccident.
WINTER DRn/lNG Here aresome tips for winter driving: Have your Cadillacin good shape for winter.Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. You may want to put winter emergency suppliesin your trunk.
r r _ r- rr Include an ice scraper, a small brushor-broom,a supply of windshield washer fluid,a rag, some winterouter clothing, a small shovel,a flashlight, a red cloth, anda couple of reflective warning triangles. And,if you will be drivingunder severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a piece of old carpet ora couple of burlap bags,to help provide traction.Be sure you properly secure these items in your vehicle.. Driving on Snow or Ice r .
Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the:roaa probably have good traction. However, if there is snowor ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation.You’ll have a lot less tractionor “grip” and will need to be very careful. What’s the worst timefor this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice canbe slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it mayoffer the least tractionof all.
_.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine, makeit go alittle faster than just idle. That is, pushthe accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the battery charged.You will need a well-charged batteryto restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with your headlights.Let the heater run for awhile. Then, shutthe engine off and closethe window almost allthe way to preserve the heat.
r r r P NOTICE: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result r ! r I r -r I in costly repairsnot covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advicein this section. Your Cadillac is a passenger vehicle. It was not designed for many of the demands that trailertowing can add.. Trailer towing can change the way your vehicle performson theroad. It brings new forcesinto play and can add plenty of strain and stress to your vehicle.
If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer If you do, here aresome important points. 0 There are many different laws having to do with trailering. Make sure your rig willbe legal, not only where you livebut also where you’ll be driving. A good source for this information can be state or provincial police. 0 Consider usinga sway control. 0 You can ask a hitch dealer about sway controls. e Don’t tow a trailerat all duringthe first 500 miles (800 km) your new vehicle is driven.
P r r, r r The trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10%of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After you’ve loaded yourtrailer, weigh the trailerand then thetongue, separately,to see if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to get them.right simply bymoving-some items around in the trailer. 3. Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires Be sure your vehicle’s tiresare inflated to thelimit for cold tires.
NOTICE: The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended hitches. for Do not attach rental hitches or other bumper-type hitches to them. - Safety Chains You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailerso that the tongue will not drop tothe road if it becomes separated fromthe hitch. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough slackso you can turn with your rig.
Folbwing Distance n ~ .. Stay at Least as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehicie without a trailer. This can help you.avoid situations that requireheavy braking and sudden turns. , F- t w i c e I ,Passing You’ll need more passing distanceup ahead-.whenyou’re towinga.trailer. And, because y0u’re.a good deal longer, you’ll need to go muchfarther beyond the passed vehiclebefore you .canreturn toyour lane.
Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shiftto a lower gearbefore you start down a longor steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer work well. On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 km/h) or less to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating.

‘.. c ..e IF A TIRE GOES FLAT !r r r r L It’s unusualfor a: tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you maintain your tires properly. If air goesout of a.tire, it’s muchmore ‘likely to leak out slowly. But if you should ever havea “blowout,” here area few tips about what to expect and whatto do: If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take yourfoot,off .the accelerator pedal and grip-the steering wheel firmly.
CIUNGING A FLAT TIRE If a tiregoes flat, avoid furthertire and wheel damageby driving slowlyto a level place.Turn on your hazard warning flashers. tell you howto use the jack and changea tire.
IThe. equipment you'll need is in the trunk under the spare tire cover. Rotate the plastic wing- nut and remove the cover. i '- r .-. c 231 Removethewingnut that secures the jack and wheel wrench and remove them from the trunk.
Attach the wheel wrench to thejack bolt androtate it clockwise (to the right). That will raise the lift head a little. A 232 There is a. center wheel cover on your aluminium wheel. Use the flat endof the wheel wrench, gently prythe cover off. Be careful notto scratch the aluminum wheel edge. Don't try to remove it with your hands. 7 ..
Using the wheel wrench, loosen all the wheel nuts. Don't remove them yet. !I P - Position thejack under the vehicle. Your vehicle has a notch on the frame near eachof the wheels (A front and B rear). Fit the lift head into the notch nearest the wheel with the flat tire.
Raise the vehicleby rotating the wheel wrench clockwise. Raise the vehiclefar enough off the ground so there is enough roomto remove the flat tire. Remove allthe wheel nuts andtake off the flat tire.
r L I- . .. . . !-i F ! I F t - Remove any rustor dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting-surfacesand spare wheel. Place the spare on the wheel mounting surface.
Replace the wheel nuts with the rounded endof the nuts towardthe wheel. Tighten each nut by hand untilthe wheei is held against the hub. Lower the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench counterclockwise.
Tighten.the wheei nuts firmly in a criss-cross sequence as shown. p ! Don't -tryto put a wheel a v e r on your compactspare tire. It won't fit. Store thewheel cover.in the .trunk until you havethe flat tire repaired or replaced. 'NOTICE: I r Wheel covers won'tfit on your compact spare.If you try to puta ,wheelcover on your compact spare, you could damage the cover OF the .compactspare.
COMPACT S P m TIRE Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehiclewas new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly.It should be 60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go upto 3,000 miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire repaired or replaced whereyou want. Of course, it’s best to replace your spare with a full-sizetire as soon as you can. Your spare will last longer and be in good shapein case you need it again.
t, r NOTICE: I7 i r“ I Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using them will damage your vehicle and destroy the chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your compact spare.

I SECTION 6 r: r SERVICE AND APPEARANCE CARE Here you will find information about the care of)your Cadillac. This section begins with service and fuel information, and thenit shows howto check important fluid and lubricant levels.There is also technical information about your vehicle, anda section devotedto its appearance care. SERWCE r r r r r: Your Cadillac dealer knows your vehicle best and wants youto be happy with it.We hope you’ll goto your dealer for all your service needs.
NOTICE: If you try to doyour own service work without knowing enough about it,your vehicle could be damaged. FUEL Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher. It should meet specificationsASTM D4814 in the U.S. and CGSB 3.5-92 in Canada. These fuels should have the proper additives,so you should not have to add anythingto the fuel. In the U.S. and Canada,it’s easyto be sure you get the right kindof gasoline (unleaded).You’ll see “UNLEADED” right on the pump.
r r What about gasoline with blendingmaterials that contain oxygen (oxygenates), such asMTBE or alcohol? MTBE is “methyl tertiary-butylether.” Fuel that is nomore than 15% MTBE is fine for your vehicle. Ethanol is ethylor grain alcohol. Properly-blendedfuel that is no more than 10%ethanol is finefor your vehicle. Methanol is methylor wood alcohol. NOTICE: r Fuel that is more than5%methanol is bad for your vehicle. Don’t use it.
FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTNES If you plan on driving inanother country outsidethe U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuelmay be hardto find. Do not use leaded gasoline.If you use even one tankful, your emission controls won’t work well or at all. With continuous use, spark plugs can get fouled, the exhaust system can corrode, and your engine oil can deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle’s oxygen sensor will be damaged. Allof that means costly repairsthat wouldn’t be coveredby your warranty.
I r I ’ r i i- i r There:are two;different fuel economy estimates ,foreach vehicle.,one for. ! city driving and one forhighway driving... To develop these two .estimates,. ; i separate tests .areused to represent typical everyday city and rural j I i driving. The testused to determine the city fuel economyestimate simulates a 7.5 mile (12 km), stop andgo trip with.an average speedof 20 mph (32 km/h). The trip takes 23,minutes and: has 18 stops.
Even though these figures are adjusted, they still represent what the average driverwill get. Your fuel economy may be significantly higheror lower, dependingon how, when, and where your vehicle is driven. Here are some thingsyou can do to increase fuel economy; Combine errands into one trip. Turn the engine off rather than letting it idle for more than a minute. Have your Cadillac servicedas described in the maintenance booklet. Keep tires inflatedto recommended pressures.

k ‘C r r 3 r r r r r Engine Oil Additives Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillacdealer is ready to advise if you think something should be added. When to Change Engine Oil Your Cadillac hasan “Oil Life Indicator.” Thisfeature will let you know when to change your oil-- usually between3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500km) since your last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator may comeon before 3,000 miles (5000 km).
What to Do with Used Oil Did you knowthat used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner.Wash or properly throwaway clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposalof oil products.) Used oil can be a realthreat to theenvironment.
f7 r r ! r NOTICE: r If theair cleaneris off, a backfire can cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirtcan easily get into your engine, which will damage it. Always have theair cleaner in place when you’re driving. r AUTOlMATIC T M S A Z E FLUID r s When to Check and Change r: A good timeto check yourautomatic transaxle fluid level is when the engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” the in Index.
NOTICE: Too much or toolittle fluid can damage your transaxle.Too much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting aBefire. sure to get an accurate reading if you check your transaxle fluid. Wait at least 30 minutesbefore checking the transaxle fluid levelif you have been driving: When outside temperatures are above 90'F (32" C). At high speed for quite a while. In heavy traffic-- especially in hot weather. While pulling a trailer.

Push it back in allthe way, wait three seconds andthen pull it back out again. r i . 3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level. The fluid level mustbe in the cross-hatched area. 4. If the fluid level isin the acceptable range, pushthe dipstick back in all the way. r 1 .
How to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Scheduleto determine whatkind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” the in Index. If the fluid level is low, add only enoughof the proper fluid to bring the level intothe cross-hatched area on the dipstick. 1. Pull out the dipstick. 2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick holeto bring itto the proper level. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a pint (OSL). Don’t overfill.
r I The.following explains your cooling system and how to-addcoolant when it is low.If you havea problem with. engine overheating,. see “Engine Overheating’% the Index. The proper coolant for your Cadillac will: 0 Give freezingprotection down to -34°F (-37°C). .0 Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128O C). 0 r i r r Protect against rust and corrosion. Help keep the properengine temperature. 0 Let thewarning lights workas they should. What to Use Use a mixture of one-half clean water.
NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine could overhea,t and be badly damaged. The repair cost wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Too much waterin the mix can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Adding Coolant I Your cooling system whenhot is under a lot of pressure. If the “ENGINE COOLANT LOW” message should appear on the Driver Information Center, you will need to add coolant.
r To Add Coolant .~ . . If you need more coolant, add the propermix at the coolant surce tank. To Check or Add Coolant f- When the engine is cold, removethe pressure cap fromthe surge tank, use a flashlight as necessary to see into the tank. The coolant level should be visible insidethe tank about2 112 inches (60 mm) below the base of the fill neck. If you need morecoolant, add the propermix. r SURGE TANK PRESSURE CAP NOTICE: r Your surge tank capis a15 psi (1.
THERMOSTAT Engine coolant temperatureis controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system.The thermostat stops theflow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant reachesa preset temperature. When you replace your thermostat, anAC@thermostat is recommended. POWER STEERING FLUID How To Check Power Steering Fluid Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replacethe cap and completely tightenit. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.

Brake Master Cylinder Your brake master cylinderis here. It is filled withDOT-3 brake fluid. There areonly two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder might go down.The first is that the brake fluid goes downto an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is leaking out of the brake system.
R & i 7 I Whenyour brakefluid fallsto alow level,the ‘.‘CHECKBRAKE FLUID”message will. display on the.Driver InformationCenter. and.your . brake.warning light will come on.See “Brake System .Warning Light’% . the Index. ”0 Check Brake Fluid I ‘ ‘K r r 1 ,r MAX FILL. The fluid 1evel:must .be to the “MAX HI;. line at thebase of the neck as’shok. 1 ,r Ii Remove the cap. 1 i .
?%at to Add When youdo need brake fluid,use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco Supreme1l@(GM Part No.1052535). Use newbrake fluid from a sealed container only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap before removing it. NOTICE: Don’t let someone put inthe wrong kind of fluid. For example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, suchas engine oil, in yourbrake system can damagebrake system parts so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
r r r NOTICE: Continuing to drive with worn-out.brake pads could result in costly brakerepair. Some driving conditionsor climates may cause a brake squeal when the brakes are first appliedor lightly applied. This does not mean something is wrong with your brakes. Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets. Brake Pedal Travel F LI See yourdealer if the brake pedal does not return tonormal height,or if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear. Every time you apply the brakes moderately,with or without the vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear. As you make brake stops, your disc brakes automatically adjust for wear. If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, yourrear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly applying the brakes afew times. Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex.
Whicle Storage If you’re not going to drive your vehiclefor 25 days or more, take off the I n black, negative(-)cable from the battery. Thiswill help keep your battery from running down. r i- r r Contact your dealer to learn how to prepareyour vehiclefor longer storage periods. Battery Power Loss If you losebattery power or thebattery is disconnected, your car’s computer must be programmed. It takes just over 20 minutes to doit. If t you wantto doit yourself, here’show: i Apply the parking brake.
