Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Fuel Data Center has five buttons. Here’s what they do:
INST (Instantaneous Fuel Economy),
Push this and you’ll see
what
your fuel
economy is at that
instant. The computer
takes
a new reading
twice every second. It
will show economy up
to 70 miles per gallon
(or,
in metric, 2 litres
per
100 kilometers).
I
AVG (Average Fuel Economy),
- This reading is your
average fuel economy
since the last time you
reset the system.
“Avg”
shows total distance
divided by the total
fuel used.

cl
Press and hold the
Range and Fuel Used
buttons to display the
oil life percentage.
You’ll
see how much oil life you have left, as a percentage. So if you see
“94” for example, that means that the way you’re driving your vehicle,
94%
of your current oil life is still left.
The
“CHANGE OIL SOON” light will come on for a few seconds as a
bulb check when you start your engine. The light will also come on for
20
seconds following engine start-up when either the oil life percentage is
less the
10% or 7,500 miles (12500 km) have been driven. The system
probably will say to change the oil between
3000 miles (5000 km) and
7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it before 3000 miles
under severe conditions. It all depends on your driving patterns.
(If it
doesn’t,
or if it doesn’t even light up, then something is wrong. You will
need to have it serviced.)
There
are two things the system won’t do: It can’t sense heavy dust in the
places where you drive.
If you drive in a dusty area, you should change
your oil every
3000 miles (5000 km) or 3 months (whichever comes first),
unless the “CHANGE
OIL SOON” light comes on sooner.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have
so you will still have to check for
that.
To check it, see the Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do that, press
and hold the “Range” and “Reset” buttons between
5 and 60 seconds.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Once the buttons are released the “CHANGE OIL SOON” light will
flash 4 times to indicate it has reset to
100.
If the “CHANGE OIL SOON” light comes on and stays on for 5 seconds,
it did not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.
SPEED SENSITIVE SUSPENSION
(SSS SYSTEM)
The Speed Sensitive Suspension System (SSS) automatically controls the
firmness of your Cadillac’s ride. The vehicle is controlled by an actuator
in each of the four struts to increase ride firmness depending on vehicle
speed and other driving conditions. There are three dampening modes:
COMFORT, NORMAL, and
FIRM. As the vehicle speed increases, the
firmness of the suspension increases. The system is in COMFORT for
speeds less than
28 mph, NORMAL for speeds between 28 and 65 mph,
and FIRM for speeds greater than
65 mph. The system also stiffens
damping during hard acceleration, braking and cornering ,for increased
control.
The SSS controller is a computer used to control and monitor the system.
The computer receives speed, acceleration and determines optimum
mode strut valving (or suspension stiffness) for your current operating
conditions. The computer also receives feedback from the struts to
determine proper system operation.
If the computer receives an incorrect
feedback from the system, an error code
will be set in memory and a
“SERVICE
SSS” light will come on and stay on until the problem is
corrected.
If this light should appear, have your vehicle serviced at your
earliest convenience.
SPEED SENSITm STEERING
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease. As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount
of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual like
steering
feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability.

press and hold the
“RANGE” and “RESET” buttons between 5 and 60
seconds. Once the buttons are released the “CHANGE OIL SOON”
light will flash 4 times to indicate it has reset to 100. If the “CHANGE
OIL SOON” light comes on for 5 seconds it did not reset. You will need
to reset the system again. The percentage
of oil life remaining may be
checked at any time by pressing the
“RANGE” and “FUEL USED” on
the Fuel Data center.
Engine Block Heater: An engine block heater can be a big help if you
have to park outside
in very cold weather, O°F (-18OC) or colder. If your
vehicle has this option, see “Engine Block Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil:
’
A CAUTION:
Used engine oil contains things that have caused skin cancer in
laboratory animals. 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 throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine oil.
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own
oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal.
Don’t ever dispose
of oil by pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies
of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
If you have a problem properly disposing of your used
oil, ask your dealer, a service station or
a local recycling center for help.
