NOTES m e ...
M 7- m SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM - Here you’ll find information about the seats in your Cadillac andhow to use your safety belts properly. You can also learn about somethings you should not do with air bags and safety belts. SEATS AND SEAT CONTROLS I 7 - This section tells you about the power seats -- how to adjust them, and also about reclining front seatbacks, lumbar adjustments, heated seats and head restraints.
Power Seat 0 Move the front of the switch in the direction of the arrows to adjust the front portion of the cushion up ordown. Move the rear of the switch in the direction of the arrows to adjust the rear portion of the cushion up ordown. Lift up or push down on both outer arrows at the sametime to move the entireseat upor down. To move the whole seat forward or backward, slide the switch in the direction of the centerarrow.
But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehiclc is moving. A CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their jobwhen you’re reclined like this. 1 The shoulderbelt can’t do its jobbecause it won’t be against your body. Instead, itwill be in frontof you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lapbelt can’t do its job either. In a crash thebelt could go up over your abdomen.
Power Lumbar Lumbar Control Feature If you have this feature,you can change the shapeof the driver and passenger seats. It works independently of the other seatcontrols. Use the power seat controlfirst to get the properposition. Then proceedwith the lumbar adjustment. The lumbar control switch islocated on the outboard side of each of the front seats. To reshape the lower seatback, move the switch forward to increase support or rearward to decrease seatback support.
Heated Front Seat Feature (Option) The control panel is located in the center console. Move the switch to either LO or HI to turn on the heating element in the seat. This feature is designed primarily for use on damp andchilly days. The LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seatapproximates body temperature. On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to a slightly higher temperature.
SAFETYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EKERYONE This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag” system. Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder tobuckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.) In many states andCanadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: Th.ey work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one. , 1 --- 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 many of them, people whobuckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without beltsthey could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter...
Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop thevehicle. The rider doesn’t stop.
-I The person keeps going until stoppedby something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ... -I or the instrument panel ...
or thesafety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, andyour strongest bones takethe forces. That's why safety belts makesuch good sense. 1-10 .
I___ I _ . HERE ARE QUESTIONS M4NY PEOPLE ASKABOUTSAFETYBELTS --AND THE ANSWERS Q Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle afler an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out,is much greater if you are belted.
HOW TO W E M SAFETYBELTS PROPERLY Adults This partis onlyfor peopleof adult size. * Be aware that thereare special things to know about safety belts and children. And there aredifferent rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in your Cadillac, see the partof this manual called “Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection. First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has. We’ll start with the driver position.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t letit get twisted. 4. Push the latch plate into thebuckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt isn’t long enough, see“Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure therelease button on the buckle is positioned so you would be ableto unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
The lap partof the belt should be worn lowand snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to thestrong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could 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. The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stopor crash.
- Shoulder Belt HeightAdjuster Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you. To move it down, squeeze the release handle andmove the height adjuster to thedesired position. You can move the adjuster up just by pushing up on the bottom of the release handle. Afteryou move the adjuster to where you want it, try to move it down without squeezing the release handle to make sureit has locked into position.
Shoulder Belt Tightness Adjustment Your car has a shoulder belt tightness adjustment feature. If the shoulder belt seemstoo tight, adjust it before you begin to drive. 1. Sit well back in the seat. 2. Start pulling the shoulder belt out. 3. Just before it reaches the end?give it a quick pull.
4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a slight clicking sound. If you don't, the adjustmentfeature won't set, andyou'll have to startagain. 5 . Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then sit back. If you've added more than1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the shoulder belt out as you did before and start again. If you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder belt, the belt will become tight again. If this happens,you can reset it.
Q: What's wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won't give nearly as much protection this way.
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place.
Q: What's wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm.It should be worn over the shoulder at all times.
Q: What's wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body.
..- To unlatch the belt, just push the button on thebuckle. The belt should go back out of the way. - Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the way. If you slam your vehicle. the door onit, you can damage both the belt and SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE R E S T M N T SYSTEM (SIR) This partexplains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR), or air bag, system. Your Cadillac has two air bags -- one air bag for the driver and another air bag for the right front passenger.
AIR BAG There is an airbag readiness light on the instrumentpanel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index for more information.
Where is the air bag? The driver’s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger’s air bag is in the instrument panel on thepassenger’s side.
When should an air bag inflate? - c4 The airbag is designed to inflate in moderate tosevere frontal or near-frontal crashes. The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed is above the system’s designed “threshold level.” If your vehicle goes straight into awall that doesn’t move or deform, the thresholdlevel is about 9 to 15 mph (14 to 24 km/h). The threshold level can vary, however, with specific vehicle design, so that it can be somewhat above or below this range.
- What will you see after an airbag inflates? _.~ c B-s c- After the airbag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs so quickly that some peoplemay not even realize the air bag inflated. Some components of the air bag module in the steering wheel hub forthe driver’s air bag, or the instrument panel forthe right front passenger’s bag, will be hot for a short time, but the partof the bag that comes into contactwith you will not be hot to thetouch.
NOTICE: If you damage thecover for thedriver’s or the right front passenger’s air bag, they maynot work properly. You may have to replace theair bag module in the steeringwheel or both the air bag module and the instrumentpanel for the right front passenger’s air bag. Do not open or break theair bag covers. Sewicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac Air bags affect how your Cadillac should be serviced. There are partsof the air bag system inseveral places around your vehicle.
S-BELT USE DUHNG PmGNANCY Safety belts work for everyone,including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are morelikely to beseriously injured if they don't wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be wornas low as possible throughout thepregnancy. r The best way to protect the fetusis to protect the mother. When safety a belt is worn properly, it's more likely that the fetus won't be hurtin a crash.
.- RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION The right front passenger’s safety belt works the sameway as the driver’s safety belt. See “DriverPosition,” earlier in this section. When the lap portionof the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, letit go back all the way and startagain.
- Lapshoulder Belt The positions next to thewindows have lap-shoulder belts. Here's how to wear one properly. 1. Pick up the latch plate andpull the belt across you. Don't let itget twisted. i -.. - II The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, letthe belt go back slightly to unlock it. Thenpull the belt acrossyou more slowly. 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it. Pull up onthe latch plate to make sure itis secure. If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Makesure the release button on thebuckle is Dositionedso you would be ableto unbuckle the safety belt quicklyif yo; ever had to. 17 Q a 3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part.
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 thestrong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.This could cause seriousor even fatal injuries.The shoulder belt shouldgo over the shoulder and acrossthe chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
a U To unlatch the belt,just push the button on the buckle.
CENTER PASSENGER POSITION n Lap Belt i When you sit inthe center seatingposition, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor.To make thebelt longer, tiltthe latch plate and pull it along the belt.
I To make the belt shorter, pull its free I end as shown until the d belt is snug. Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap partof a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t longenough, see“Safety BeltExtender” at the endof this section. Make surethe release button on the buckle is positioned so you wouldbe able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
-. - CHILDREN Everyone in a vehicle needs protection!That includes infants andall children smallerthan adultsize. In fact, the law in every state in the - United States andin every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrainedwhile in a vehicle.

I CHILD R E S T M N T S Be Sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the beltsystem in your vehicle, but thechild also has to be secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury. The instructions that comewith the infant orchild restraint will show you how todothat.
Top Strap If your child restraint has a top strap,it should be anchored. If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your Cadillac dealer to putit infor you. If you want to install an anchoryourself, your dealer can tell you how to doit. For cars first sold in Canada, child restraints with a top strapmust be anchored according to Canadian Law. Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit and install it for you, or you may install it yourself usingthe instructions provided in the kit.

F Securing a Child Restraint in the RightFront Seat Position rour vehicle has aright front passengerair bag. Never put arear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why: c- i- You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 1. Because yourvehicle has a right front passengerair bag, always move child the seat as far back as it will go before securing a forward-facing restraint. (See “Seats”in the Index.) 2. Put the restraint on the seat.

PARK (P): This locks your front wheels. It’sthe best position to use when you start your engine because your vehicle can’t move easily.
c _ -. ~ . Ensure theshift lever is fullyin PARK (P) range before starting the engine. Your Cadillac has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully apply your regular brakesbefore you can shift from PARK (P) when when the ignition key is in the RUNposition. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever -- push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) and release theshift lever button on the floor shift console models as you maintain brake application.
NEUTRAL (N): In this position, your engine doesn’t connect with the wheels. To restart when you’re already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed. . I -. NOTICE: a * c- Damage toyour transaxle caused by shiftingout of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) with the engine racing isn’t coveredby your warranty.
- AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@):This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you’re: Going less than 35 mph (55 kmih), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down. Going about35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down.

DEFENSIVE DRWTNG The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please startwith a very important safety device inyour Cadillac: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving reallymeans “beready for anything.” On city streets, rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.” Assume that pedestrians or otherdrivers are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
Many adults -- by some estimates, nearlyhalf the adult population-choose neverto drink alcohol, so they neverdrive after drinking. For persons under 21, it’sagainst the law in every U.S. state todrink alcohol. There aregood medical, psychological and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to solve this highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and thendrive. But whatif people do? How much is “too much” if the driver plans to drive? It’s a lotless than many might think.
It’s the amountof alcohol that counts.For example, if the same person drank three doublemartinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each)within an hour, the person’s BAC wouldbe close to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just beforeor during drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level. There is a gender difference, too. Women generally have a lowerrelative percentage of body water than men.
LL CL But the ability to drive is affected well below a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research shows that thedriving skillsof many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in a collision increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of 0.05 percent or above. A driver with a BAC level of 0.06 percent has doubled his or herchance of having a collision.
CONTROL OFA VEHICLE You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator.All three systems have to do theirwork at theplaces where thetires meet the road. Sometimes, as whenyou're driving on snow or ice, it's easyto ask more of those controlsystems than the tires and roadcan provide. That meansyou can lose controlof your vehicle.
Braking action involves perception timeand reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brakepedal. That’sperception time. Then you have to bring upyour foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction time isabout 3/4 of a second.But that’s only an average. It might be less withone driver and aslong as two or threeseconds or more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination,and eyesight all playa part.So do alcohol, drugs and frustration.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) c- Your Cadillac has anadvanced electronic braking system that will help prevent a braking skid. ANTILOCK (0 - ABS) c This light on theinstrument panel will come onbriefly when youstart your vehicle. When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away, you mayhear a momentary motoror clicking noise. And you may evennotice thatyour brake pedalmoves a little while this is goingon. This is the ABS system testing itself.
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumpsout in front of you. You slam on thebrakes. Here’swhat happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stoprolling, the computerwill separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the rearwheels. The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could.
You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keepsreceiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brakepedal. If you get too close to thevehicle in front of you, you won’t havetime to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough roomup ahead to stop,even though you have anti-lock brakes. rc- c . 4 .
Traction Control System Your vehicle has a traction controlsystem that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that oneor both of the frontwheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. Whenthis happens, the system works the frontbrakes and reduces enginepower (by shutting off fuel injectors)to limit wheel spin.
STEERING Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stopsor thesystem is not functioning, you can steer butit will take much more effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’s important to takecurves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news happen on curves. Here’s why: Experienced driver or beginner, eachof us is subject to the samelaws of physics when driving on curves.
Steering in Emergencies There aretimes when steering can be moreeffective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stopsright in front of you. You can avoid these problems by braking -- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time for evasive action -- steering around the problem.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY You may find sometime thatyour right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly belowthe pavement, recovery should be fairly easy.Ease off the accelerator and then,if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edgeof the pavement. You can turn thesteering wheel up to 1/4 turn until the right front tire contacts thepavement edge.
IL.4 PASSING The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits for just the right moment, accelerates,moves around thevehicle ahead, then goesback into theright lane again. A simple maneuver? -- 1 Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same lane asoncoming traffic for several seconds.
When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane anddon’t get too close. Time your move so you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other lane. If the way is clear to pass, you will have a “running start” that more thanmakes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back. And if something happensto cause you to cancel your pass, you need only slow downand drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
LOSS OF CONTROL Let’s review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems (brakes, steeringand acceleration) don’thave enough friction where the tires meet the road to dowhat the driver has asked. In any emergency, don’t give up. Keep trying to steerand constantly seek an escape route or areaof less danger. Skidding In askid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle.
If your vehicle starts toslide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedaland quickly steer theway you want the vehicle to go. If you start steering quickly enough, your vehicle may straighten out.Always be ready for a second skid if it occurs. Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice,gravel, or other material is on the road.For safety, you’ll want to slow down and adjust your driving to these conditions.
DRIPTNG AT NIGHT h - Night driving is more dangerous thanday driving.One reason is that some drivers are likely to beimpaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here aresome tips on night driving. 0 Drive defensively. Don’t drink and drive. 0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce theglare from headlamps behind you. Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. Slow down, especially on higher speedroads.
Night Vision CI No one can see aswell at night as in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase. A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. What you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision. For example, if you spend theday in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will have lesstrouble adjusting to night. But if you’re driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night.
DRn/lNG IN THE M A T w- r-- Rain andwet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you can’t stop, accelerateor turnas wellbecause your tire-to-road tractionisn’t as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left,you’ll get even less traction. It’s always wise to go slower and be cautiousif rain starts to fall while youare driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned fordriving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see.
Driving too fast through large water puddles or even goingthrough some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can’t, tryto slow down before you hit them.
Hydroplaning __ -.. - I Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up underyour tires that they can actually ride onthe water. This can happenif the roadis wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has littleor no contact with the road. Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often.But it can if your tires haven’t much tread orif the pressure in one or moreis low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on the road.
One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amountof traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for what the otherdrivers are doing and pay attention totraffic signals. Here areways to increase your safety in city driving: 0 0 Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and plan your trip into anunknown part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time andenergy.
FREEWAY D M N G Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are thesafest 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. Drive at the same speed most of the otherdrivers are driving. Too-fastor too-slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the left lane on a freeway as a passing lane.
At the entrance thereis usually a ramp thatleads to thefreeway. If you have a clearview of the freeway as you drive along the entranceramp, you should begin to check traffic. Try to determinewhere you expect to blend with the flow. Try to merge intothe gap at close to the prevailing speed. Switch on your turn signal, check your mirrors andglance over your shoulder as oftenas necessary. Try to blend smoothly with the traffic flow.
- - .- _ 1 BEFORE LEAVTNG O N A LONG TRlP Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when you’re not fresh -- such as after aday’s work -- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part of the journey.Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can easily drive in. Is your vehicle ready for along trip? If you keep it serviced and maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before starting out.
HIGAWKAY HYPNOSIS Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is itjust plain falling asleep at thewheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lackof awareness, or whatever. There is something about aneasy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
P c1 - HILL AND MOUNTMN ROADS I Driving on steephills or mountains is different from driving in flat or rolling terrain. p- If you drive regularly in steepcountry, or if you're planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. r* r -, Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle. These partscan work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go 'down hills.
0 Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down to a lower gear. The lower gears helpcool your engine and transaxle, and you can climb the hill better. 0 Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane roads in hillsor mountains. Don’tswing wideor cut across the centerof the road. Drive at speeds that letyou stay in your own lane. 0 As you go over the topof a hill, be alert.There could be something in your lane,like a stalled car or anaccident.
L- WINTER D m N G Here are sometips for winter driving: 0 Have your Cadillac in good shape forwinter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. 0 You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk.
I I Include an ice scraper, asmall brush or broom, asupply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel,a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if you will be driving under severe conditions, include a small bagof sand, a piece of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags to help provide traction. Be sure you properly secure theseitems in your vehicle. 4-32 - - .
Driving on Snow or Ice _% Most of the time, thoseplaces where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip”and will need to be very careful. What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snowor ice can be slick and hard todrive on. But wet ice can be even more troublebecause it may offer the least traction of all.
Whatever the condition -- smooth ice, packed, blowing or loose snow -- drive with caution. Your traction controlsystem improves your ability to acceleratewhen driving on a slippery road. Even though your vehicle has a traction control system, you’llwant to slow downand adjust your driving to the road conditions. See “Traction Control System” in the Index. c- Your anti-lock brakes improve your ability to make a hard stopon a slippery road.
-~ -_ ~ ~~ ~~ If You’re Caught in a Blizzard If you are stoppedby heavy snow, youcould be in a serious situation.You you should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure that are nearhelp andyou can hike through thesnow. Here are somethings to do tosummon help and keep yourself and your passengers safe: Turn on your hazard flashers. Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that you’ve been stoppedby the snow. Put onextra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine,make it go a little faster than justidle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This uses lessfuel for the heat thatyou get and it keeps the batterycharged. You will need awell-charged battery to restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut theengine off and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again and repeat thisonly when you feel really uncomfortable fromthe cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you can. To help keepwarm, you can get out of the vehicle and do somefairly vigorous exercises every halfhour or so until help comes.

TOWING A T M L E R c- c - NOTICE: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs not coveredby your warranty.To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advicein this part, andsee your Cadillac dealer for important information about towing a trailer with your vehicle. To identify what the vehicle trailering capacity is for your vehicle, you should read theinformation in “Weightof the Trailer” that appears later in this section.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies, and tiresare forced to work harder against the dragof the addedweight. The engine is required to operate atrelatively higher speeds and under greater loads, generating extra heat.What’s more, the trailer adds considerably to wind resistance, increasing the pulling requirements. If You Do Decide To Pull A mailer If you do, here are some important points.
Three important considerations have to dowith weight: Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailersafely be? It should never weigh more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg) total, including the load. But even that can be too heavy. It dependson how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperatureand how much your vehicle is used to pull a trailer areall important. And, it can also depend on any special equipment thatyou have on your vehicle.
-I A B If you’re using a “dead-weight” hitch, the trailer tongue(A) should weigh 10% of the total loaded trailer weight (B). If you have a --_ “weight-distributing” hitch, the trailer tongue(A) should weigh 12% of the total loaded trailerweight (B). After you’ve loaded your trailer,weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to seeif the weights are proper.If they aren’t, you may be able to get themright simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch. Here aresome rules to follow: Will you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? If you do, then be sureto seal the holes later when you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle (see “Carbon Monoxide’’ in the Index). Dirt and water can, too.
- Driving with a Trailer Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer. Andalways keep in mind that thevehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as yourvehicle is by itself.
Making Turns NOTICE: Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Your vehicle couldbe damaged. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering. When you’re turning with a trailer,make wider turns thannormal. Do this so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well inadvance.
Parking on Hills __ You really should not parkyour vehicle, with a trailer attached, on hill. a If something goes wrong, your rig could start tomove. People can be injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged. But if you ever have to parkyour rig on a hill, here’s how to doit: 0 Apply your regular brakes, but donot shift into PARK (P). 0 Have someoneplace chocks under the trailerwheels. 0 When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load.
Adahtenance When TrailerTowing Your vehiclewill need service more oftenwhen you're pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that areespecially important in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid (don't overfill), engine oil, belt, cooling system, and brake adjustment. Each of these is covered in this manual, and the Index will help you find them quickly. If you're trailering, it's a good idea to review these sections before you start your trip.
I PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD Here you'll find what to do about some problems that can occur on the road. HAZARD W N I N G FLASHERS n Your hazard warning flashers letyou warn others. Theyalso let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
Press the buttonin to make your front and rear turn signal lamps flash on andoff. t* HAZARD A One of these lights on your instrument panel will flash indicating that the hazard warning flashers are on. Your hazard warning flashers will work once the button is pressed in regardless of the key position. 5-2 .
OTHER W M I N G DEWCES If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at the sideof the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle.
JUMP STARTING If your battery has run down, you may want to use another vehicle and some jumpercables to start your Cadillac. Please follow the stepsbelow to doit safely. IC- NOTICE: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to your vehicle that wouldn’tbe covered by your warranty. w i n g to start your Cadillacby pushing or pulling it won’t work and it could damage your vehicle.
TO JUMP START YOUR CADILLAC 1. Check the othervehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative ground system. NOTICE: If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a negative ground, both vehicles canbe damaged. 2. Get thevehicles close enough so the jumpercables can reach, but be sure thevehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could cause a ground connectionyou don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start your Cadillac and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems. 3.
5. Start by removing the red positive (+) terminal cover.
6. Check that the jumpercables don’t have loose or missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could also be damaged. Before you connect the cables, here aresome things you should know. Positive (+ ) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to negative (-) or a metal engine part. Don’t connectpositive (+) to negative (-) or you’ll get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too. 7.
the 10. Don’t letthe otherend of the negative cable touch anything until the next step. The otherend of the negative cable doesn’t go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy unpainted metal parton theengine of the vehicle with the deadbattery. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery, but not nearengine parts thatmove. The electrical connection is just as good there, but the chance of sparks getting back to battery is much less. 11.
13. Remove the cablesin reverse order toprevent electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch each otheror any other metal.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE Try to have a GM dealer ora professional towing service towyour Cadillac. The usual towing equipment is: A. Sling Type B. Wheel Lift C. Car Carrier If your vehicle has been changed or modified since it was factory-new by adding aftermarket itemslike fog lamps, aero skirting or special tires and wheels, these instructions and illustrations may not becorrect. Before you do anything, turn on thehazard warning flashers.
f k P !, When thetowing service arrives, let the tow operator know that this manual contains detailedtowing instructions andillustrations. The operator may want to see them. When your vehicle is being towed,have the ignition key off. The steering wheel should be clampedin a straight-aheadposition, with a clamping device designed for towing service. Do not use the vehicle's steering column lock for this. The transaxle should be in NEUTRAL (N) and the parking brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the frontwheels, unless you must. If the vehicle must be towed on the frontwheels, don’t go more than 35 mph (56 kmih) or farther than25 miles (40 km) or your transaxle will be damaged. If these limits must be exceeded, then the frontwheels have to be supported on dolly. a ENGINE OVERHEATING The Driver InformationCenter will display either ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINEor STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATING.
NOTICE: After driving in the “Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode,” to avoidengine damage, allow the engineto cool before attempting any repair. Theengine oil may be severely degraded. Change the oil and reset the oil life indicator. See “Engine Oil, When to Change” in the Index.

II‘ lj?Nu Steam Is Coming From Your Engine If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, theproblem may not be tooserious. Sometimes theengine can get a little too hot when you: 0 Climb a long hill on a hot day. Stop after high speed driving.
-, - COOLING SYSTEM - When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what you’ll see: - A. Coolant surge tank with pressure cap. B. Electricenginefans.
13 a If the coolant inside the coolant surgetank is boiling, don’t do anything else until itcools down. The coolant level should be visible inside the surge tank once the cap has been removed.If it isn’t, you mayhave a leak in the radiatorhoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system. a I IR NOTICE: Engine damageif you keep running your engine without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty. See “Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode”in the Index.
How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Surge Tank -- - If you haven’t found aproblem yet, but thecoolant level isn’t at a visible level within the surge tank, adda 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably distilled) and a proper antifreeze at the coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is cool before you do it. (See “Engine Coolant”in the Index for more information aboutthe propercoolant mix.
I I NOTICE: -- In cold weather,watercanfreezeandcrack the engine,radiator, heater core andother parts. So use the recommendedcoolant.
1. You can remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure capslowly to theleft until it first stops. (Don't press down whileturning the pressure cap.) If you hear a hiss, wait for that tostop. A hiss means there is still some pressure left. 2. Then keep turning the cap,but now push down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap.
I - 3. Then fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mix, up to thebase of the filler neck. p_ Z 4. With thecoolant surge tank pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine fans. By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower.
5. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure thearrows on the pressure cap line up like this. Start the engine andallow it to warm up. If the ENGINE COOLANT LOW message does not appear on the Driver Information Center, coolant is at the properfill level. If an ENGINE COOLANTLOW message does appear, repeat steps1 to 3 or seeyour dealer. I F A TIRE GOES FLAT It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you maintain your tires properly.
C . G I N GA FLAT TIRE If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowlyto a levelplace. Turn on your hazard warning flashers. The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and changea tire.
1. The equipment you’ll need is in the trunk under the spare tirecover. Rotate theplastic wing nut and remove the cover. 2. Remove the wing nut that secures the jack and wheel wrench and remove them fromthe trunk.
3. Attach the wheel wrench to the jack bolt and rotate it clockwise. That will raise the lift head a little. . .
4. There is a center wheel cover on your aluminum wheel. I Usethe flat end of the wheel wrench, I prying along the edge of this cover until it comes off. Be carefulnot to scratch the aluminum wheel edge. Don't try to remove it withyour hands. I I I 5. Using the wheel wrench, loosen all I the wheel nuts. Do not remove them yet.
6. Position the jack under thevehicle. Your vehiclehas a notch on the frame near eachof the wheels (A Front and B Rear). Fit the lift head into the notch nearest the wheel withthe flat tire.
7. Raise the vehicle by rotating thewheel wrench clockwise. Raise thevehicle high enough off the ground so the tire can be removed. 1 8. Remove allof the 1 wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.
9. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting surfaces and spare wheel. Place thespare on the wheel mounting surface. .
r - 710. Replace the wheel nuts with the rounded endof the nuts towardthe wheel. Tighten each nutby hand until the wheel is held against the hub. -P-- 11. Lower the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
12. Tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a criss-cross sequence asshown. c- Don’t try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare tire. It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover inthe trunk until you have the flat tire repaired or replaced. &I C-L NOTICE: Wheel coverswon’t fit on your compact spare.If you try to put a wheel coveron your compactspare, you could damage the cover or the spare.
COMPACT SPARE TIRE Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time.Check the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (420 kPa). After installing the compact spare onyour vehicle, you should stopas soon as possible and make sureyour spare tire is correctly inflated.
IF YOU’RE STUCK: IN SAND,MUD, ICE OR SNOW I What you don’t want to dowhen your vehicle is stuck is to spin your wheels too fast. The methodknown as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re stuck, but you mustuse caution. NOTICE: Spinning your wheelscan destroy parts of your vehicle as well as the tires.If you spin the wheels toofast while shifting your transaxle backand forth, youcan destroy your transaxle. For information aboutusing tire chainson your vehicle, see “Tire Chains” in the Index.

CHECKING THINGS UNDER THE HOOD ,- Hood Release 6-8 -
Then go to the frontof the vehicle and lift the secondary hood release to open the hood. Fluid Usage Label The fluid usage label is a color coded label identifying the variousfluids used in your vehicle. Colors representedon the label match the lettering or handlecolor of the fluid you want to check. c 0 0 GREEN: Engine Coolant ORANGE: Power Steering Fluid YELLOW.
ENGINE OIL A CHECK OIL LEVELmessage will appear when the engine oil is approximately a quart low. If the message is displayed, check the dipstick level and add oil as needed. It’s a good idea to check your engine oil everytime you get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground. Turn off the engine and give the oil a few minutes to drainback into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level.
rcT r ,- - - To Check Engine Oil Pull out thedipstick and clean itwith a papertowel or cloth, then pushit back in all the way. Remove itagain, keeping the tip down, and check the level. Wiben to Add Oil If ,the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But you must use the right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities andSpecifications” in the Index. Don’t add too muchoil.
To remove, turn the oil fill cap counterclockwise. I Just fill it enough to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through. What Kind of Oil to Use Oils of the proper quality for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the “Starburst”symbol. The “Starburst” symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and is preferred foruse in your gasoline engine.
_p You should also use the properviscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the following chart: RECOMMENDED SAE VlSCOSlTY BRADE ENGINE OILS FOR BESTFUELECONOMYANDCOLOSTARTiNG,SELECTTHELOWEST SAE VISCOSITY GRADE OIL FOR THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE. HOT WEATHER COLD WEATHER DO NOT USE SAE 2OW-50 OR ANY OTHER GRADE OIL NOT RECOMMENDED As shown in the chart, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE 5W-30 if it’s goingto be colder than60°F (16OC) before your next oil change.
GM Goodwrench@oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the requirements for your vehicle. Engine Oil Additives Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if you think something should be added. When to Change Engine Oil Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know when to change your oil and filter -- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change.
- Engine Coolant Heater c- An engine coolantheater can be abig help if you have to park outside in very cold weather, O°F (-HOC) orcolder. If your vehicle has this option, see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index. What to Do with Used Oil - Did you knowthat used engine oil contains certain elements thatmay 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.
AIR C L E m E R II . * Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to replace the air filter. NOTICE: If the air cleaner is off, a backfire cancause a damagingengine fire. And, dirt caneasily get into your engine, which will damage it. Always have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving. 6-16 -~ -.
AIR CLEANER FILTER REPLACEMENT Disconnect the sensor, located near the throttle body, from the air duct. c Remove the crankcase vent tube from the top of the air duct.

Push the two tabs and pivot the tophalf to separate the air cleaner. Once you have replaced the air cleaner filter, reverse the steps to reassemble. AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID when to Check and Change A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the engine oil is changed. Referto the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to change your fluid.
How to Check Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this done atyour Cadillac dealership Service Department. If you do it yourself, be sure tofollow all the instructions here, or you could get a false reading on thedipstick. LI 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 parts, starting a fire.
To check the fluid level Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep the engine running. With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever in PARK (P). With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each gear range, pausing for about threeseconds in each range. Then, position the shift lever in PARK (P). Let the engine run at idle for three to five minutes. Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these steps: Turn the cap counterclockwise to unlock it. 1.
How to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determinewhat kind of transaxle fluid to use. If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the properfluid to bring the level into thecross-hatched area on thedipstick. 1. Pull out the dipstick. 2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to bring it to the properlevel. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a pint (OSL). Don’t ove@ZZ.
-- m_ ENGINE COOLANT The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolantwhen it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index. The propercoolant for your Cadillac will: Give freezing protection down to -34OF (-37OC). Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128°C). Protect against rust and corrosion. Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning lights work as they should.
I NOTICE: I- If you use an improper coolant mix, yourengine could overheat and be badly damaged. The repaircost wouldn't be coveredby your warranty.Too much water in the mix can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. Ic _ Adding Coolant Your cooling system whenhot is under alot of pressure. If the ENGINE COOLANT LOW message should appear on the Driver Information Center, you will need to addcoolant.
To Check Coolant When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the properlevel, which istwo and ahalf inches (60 mm) below the base of the fill neck. Use aflashlight as necessary to see into thetank. To Add Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolantsurge tank, but only when the engine is cool. __ When replacing the pressurecap, make sure it is tight.
SURGE TANK PRESSURE CAP NOTICE: Your surge tankcap is a 15 psi (105 Wa) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to preventcoolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow tubeon the radiator filler neck. If your surge tank pressure cap needsto bereplaced an AC' cap is recommended. THERMOSTAT Engine coolant temperatureis controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system.
- How to Check Power Steering Fluid When the engine compartmentis cool, unscrew the cap andwipe the dipstick with a cleanrag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick. 0 When the engine compartment is hot, the level should be at the HOT mark. 0 When the engine compartment is cool, the level should beat the FULL COLD mark. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspectedandrepaired.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID What to Use When you need windshield washer fluid, besure toread the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be operatingyour vehicle in an areawhere the temperature may fall below freezing, usea fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing. To Add Open the cap labeled WASHER FLUID ONLY. Add washer fluid until the tank is full. I 4 -. 1 NOTICE: When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for addingwater.
- r .c-- Brake Master Cylinder Your brake master cylinder ishere. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder might go down. The first is that the brakefluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brakelining wear. When new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back up. The otherreason is that fluid is leaking out of the brakesystem.
To Check BrakeFluid Remove the cap. c _ The fluid level must beto the maximum fill line at the base of the neck as shown. When your brake fluid fallsto a low level, yourbrake warning lightwill come on. See “BrakeSystem Warning Light”in the Index. W a t to Add When you do need brake fluid, use onlyDOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco Supreme l l @(GM Part No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a sealed container only, and always clean thebrake fluidreservoir capbefore removing it.
Brake Wear C Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes. Disc brake padshave built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake padsare worn andnew pads are needed. The soundmay come andgo or be heardall the time your vehicle is moving (except when you are pushing on thebrake pedalfirmly). NOTICE: Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair.
Replacing BrakeSystem Parts The braking system on a modernvehicle is complex.Its many parts have to beof top quality and work welltogether if the vehicle is to have really good braking. Vehicles we designand test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, asyour Cadillac does when it is new. When you replace parts of your braking system -- for example, when your brake linings wear down and you have to have new ones putin -- be sureyou get new genuine GM replacement parts.
Battery Power Loss If you lose battery power or thebattery is disconnected, your car’s It takes just over20 minutes to do it.If computer must be programmed. you want to doit yourself, here’s how: 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Make sure the frontwheels are straight. 3. Turn off the Electronic Climate Control. 4. Start the enginein PARK (P) and letit idle for 15 minutes. Then: shift the transaxle to OVERDRIVE 5. Put your foot on the brake pedal, (@)and letit idle forthree minutes or more.

TIRES We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have questions aboutyour tire warranty and where to obtainservice, see your Cadillac Warranty booklet for details.
Inflation - Tire Pressure The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on thedriver’s door shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold’’ means your vehicle has been sitting for atleast three hours or driven no more thana mile. If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph (160 km/h) where it is legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure of each tireto 35 psi (240 kPa).
When to Check Check your tires oncea month ormore. Don’t forget your compact spare.It should be at60 psi (420 kPa). How to Check - -c Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure, especiallyif you have radial tires -- which may look properly inflated evenif they’re underinflated. If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirtand moisture.
When it3 Timefor New Tires One way to tell when it’s time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. You need a new tire i f You can see the indicators at three or moreplaces around thetire. You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber. a The tread orsidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric. 6-46 C .
0 The tire has a bump,bulge or split. The tirehas a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired well because of the size or location of the damage. Buying New Tires To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading Information label. The tires installed on your vehicle when it was newhad a Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on eachtire’s sidewall. When you get new tires, get oneswith that sameTPC Spec number.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading The following information relatesto thesystem developed by the United States National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the UnitedStates.) Treadwear The treadwear gradeis a comparative rating based on thewear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
- c Warning: The temperature grade forthis tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup andpossible tire failure. These gradesare molded on thesidewalls of passenger cartires.
NOTICE: c-- The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle groundclearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to thebody and chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels c -.- -- -- -- Tire Chains NOTICE: Use tire chainsonly where legal and only when youmust. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for your tires. Install them on the front tires and tighten them as tightly as possible with the endssecurely fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions.If you can hear the chainscontacting yourvehicle, stop andretighten them. If the contact continues, slow down until itstops.
A P P E W C E CARE Remember, cleaning products canbe hazardous. Some are toxic. Others can burst intoflame if you strike a match or get themon a hot partof the vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe theirfumes in a closed space. When you use anything from a container to clean your Cadillac, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open your doors or windows when you’re cleaningthe inside.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF YOUR CADILUC Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or leather with a clean,damp cloth. Your Cadillac dealer hastwo GM cleaners, asolvent-type spot lifter and a foam-type powdered cleaner. They will clean normal spots andstains very well. Do not use them on vinyl or leather. Here aresome cleaning tips: 0 Always read the instructions on the cleaner label. Clean up stains as soon as you can -- before they set.
Then dry it immediately with a blow dryer or a heat lamp. - NOTICE: Be careful. A blow dryer may scorch the fabric. 0 Wipe with a clean cloth. Using Solvent-Type Cleaneron Fabric First, seeif you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spotsand stains will clean off better with just water and mild soap. If you need to use a solvent: Gently scrapeexcess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife or scraper. Usevery little cleaner,light pressure andclean cloths (preferably cheesecloth).
-. Non-Greasy Stains Such as catsup,coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruitjuice, milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine andblood. 0 Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool water. If a stain remains,follow the foam-type instructions described earlier. 0 t - If an odorlingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the areawith a waterbaking soda solution: 1teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water. If needed, clean lightly with solvent-type cleaner.
Cleaning theTop of the Instrument Panel Use only mild soap and water to clean the topsurfaces of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions. Cleaning Speaker Covers Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the speakerwon’t be damaged. If something getson oneof them, follow the steps earlier under “Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELDAND WIPER BLADES If the windshield is not clear afterusing the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatterswhen running, wax or othermaterial may be on the blade orwindshield. c .C Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@(GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if beads do not form when yourinse it with water. Clean the blade by wiping vigorously witha cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent.
- Don’t wash your vehicle inthe directrays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Useliquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that arepetroleum based,or that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on thesurface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratchesand water spotting.
L- ALUMINUM WHEELS Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to thepainted surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on thembecause you could damage thiscoating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied. NOTICE: Don’t use an automatic car wash thathas hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take the protective coating off your aluminum wheels.
UNDERBODYMNTENMCE Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody.If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the underbody partssuch as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection. At least every spring, flush these materialsfrom the underbodywith plain water. Cleanany areas wheremud and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened beforebeing flushed.
