ignition CADILLAC ESCALADE 2002 2.G Repair Manual

5-23
Follow these instructions to lower the spare tire:
1. If the vehicle is equipped with a hoist lock (I),
open the spare tire lock cover on the bumper and
use the ignition key to remove the lock.
2. Assemble the wheel wrench (B) and the two jack
handle extensions (C) as shown. Insert the hoist end
(open end) (K) of the extension through the hole (J)
in the rear bumper. Be sure the hoist end of the
extension connects into the hoist shaft (D)
(the ribbed square end of the extension is used
to lower the spare tire (F)).
3. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the spare tire to the ground. Continue to turn the
wheel wrench until the spare tire can be pulled out
from under the vehicle. The wheel wrench has a
hook that allows you to pull the hoist cable (H)
towards you, to assist in reaching the spare tire.
4. When the tire has been lowered, tilt the retainer (G)
at the end of the cable so it can be pulled up through
the wheel opening.
5. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
The tools you'll be using include the bottle jack (A), the
wheel blocks (B), the jack handle (C), the jack handle
extensions (D), and the wheel wrench (E).
If the flat tire is on a rear tire of the vehicle, you'll need
to use both jack handle extensions.

How to Reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL Message
To reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message do
the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message flashes for
five seconds, the system is reset.
If the message still flashes after being reset, try the
reset procedure one more time. If it does not reset
after this, see your dealer for service.What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that 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 throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See
the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.
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 putting it in the trash, 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.

Ignition Transmission Lock Check
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn
the ignition key to LOCK in each shift lever position.

The key should turn to LOCK only when the shift
lever is in PARK (P).

The key should come out only in LOCK.
Parking Brake and Automatic Transmission
PARK (P) Mechanism Check
CAUTION:
When you are doing this check, your vehicle
could begin to move. You or others could be
injured and property could be damaged. Make
sure there is room in front of your vehicle in case
it begins to roll. Be ready to apply the regular
brake at once should the vehicle begin to move.
Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing
downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake,
set the parking brake.

To check the parking brake's holding ability:
With the engine running and transmission in
NEUTRAL (N), slowly remove foot pressure
from the regular brake pedal. Do this until the
vehicle is held by the parking brake only.

To check the PARK (P) mechanism's holding
ability: With the engine running, shift to PARK (P).
Then release the parking brake followed by the
regular brake.
Underbody Flushing Service
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any
corrosive materials from the underbody. Take care
to clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other
debris can collect.
