Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up
under your tires that they can actually ride on the water.
This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re
going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often.
But it can if your
tires haven’t much tread or
if the pressure in one or
more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on
the road.
If you can see reflections from trees, telephone
poles or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the
water’s surface, there could
be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There
just isn’t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The
best advice is to slow down when it
is raining.
Driving Through Deep Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or
standing water, water can come in through your engine’s
air intake and badly damage your
engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody
of your vehicle. If you
can’t avoid
deep puddles or standing water, drive
through them very slowly.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
0
0
Turn on your low-beam headlamps -- not just your
parking lamps
-- to help make you more, visible to
others.
Besides slowing down, allow some extra following
distance. And be especially carehl when
you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room
ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted
by road spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See
“Tires” in the Index.)

Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you
run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel
for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly
for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engine off
and close the window almost
all the way
to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as
you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of
the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour
or so until help comes.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the driver's door tells you the proper size,
speed rating
and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle.
It also gives you important
information about the number
of people that can be in
your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry.
This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all
options not installed in the factory.

The cap is behind a hinged door on the driver's side of
your vehicle.
A CAUTION:
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don't smoke if you're near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away
from gasoline.
The fuel door release button
is located to the left of the
steering wheel next to the
headlamp knob. The button
only works in PARK (P)
when the ignition key is in
any position.
An alternate fuel door
release
is located inside of
the trunk on the left hand
side. Pull it to release
the
fuel door.

1. Lift the cover to gain access.
2. Turn the headlamp housing socket counterclockwise
to unlock the socket from the lamp housing.
4. Install the new bulb and socket to the wiring harness
connector. Make sure that the harness
is locked to the
bulb socket.
5. Reinstall the headlamp housing socket back into the headlamp assembly.
3. Disconnect the socket from the harness by separating
the locking clip. Do not touch the glass portion of the new halogen bulb!
The
oil from your fingers will shorten the bulb life.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded.
If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If the
wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes
be repaired). See your
Cadillac dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts. This way, you will
be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your Cadillac
model.
A CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, make your tires lose
air and make you
lose control. You could have
a collision in which
you or others could be injured.
Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance and tire
or tire chain clearance
to
the body and chassis.
See “Changing
a Flat Tire” in the Index for
more information.

Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Cadillac
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered
by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment
can keep other components from working
as
they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical
to your Cadillac, see “Servicing
Your
Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac” in the Index.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered
by a MaxiFuse? An electrical overload will
cause
the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse is a registered trademark of Little Fuse
Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is
caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have. it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
