bulb CADILLAC DEVILLE 1996 7.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the DIC
will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about
a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may
be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and then release
it to change the
headlamps
from low beam
to high
or from high beam
to low. The blue light on the
instrument panel will
be on
indicating high beam usage.
Flash-To-Pass
This lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the
driver in front
of you that you want to pass. It works
even
if the headlamps are ‘off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you to use. When
you do:
0 If the headlamps are off, the high-beam headlamps
will turn
on. They’I1 stay on as long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn them
off.
0 If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high
beam and stay there. Pull the lever toward you
to return to low beam.
If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward you.

When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need a
different
turn signal flasher and extra wiring. Check
with your Cadillac dealer. The green
arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a
turn
or lane change. Properly hooked up, the trailer lamps
will
also flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash for turns even
if the bulbs on
the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers
behind you are seeing your signal when they are not. It’s
important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start
down a long or steep downgrade.
I€ 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 b/h) or less to reduce the
possibility
of engine and transaxle overheating.
If your vehicle weighs more
than 1,OOO lbs. (450 kg),
you may want to drive in
THIRD (3) instead of
OVERDRIVE (@).

Battery
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take
off the black, negative (-) cable from
the battery.
This will help-keep your battery from
running down.
1 A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See
“Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips
on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer
to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature’’ in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your Cadillac dealer service department.
Halogen Bulbs
A CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst
if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions on the bulb package.
