WMING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it bec0me.s
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light
comes on, there could
be a brake problem.
Have your brake
system inspected right
away.
This light should come on as you start the vehicle.
If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service.
If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on,
you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your
regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier
in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come on when you are
driving with
a compact spare tire. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a full-size
tire. If the warning light stays
on after you replace the compact spare with
a full-size tire, or if it comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.
Traction Control System Lights
Traction Engaged
This light will go on as
a bulb check when you
start your engine. It
will also come on when
the traction control
system is active.

TRACTION
CONTROL
This light will come on
when you first start
your vehicle or when
you turn
off the system.
If it ever comes
on and
stays
on, it means that
your traction control
system
is not working,
and you should have it
serviced as soon as
possible.
These lights are deleted on Coach Builder limousines and funeral coach
packages.

NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels when the “Tkaction Disabled” light comes
on can destroy parts of your vehicle .as well as the tires. If you
spin your .wheels
too fast while shifting your transmission back
and forth, you can destroy your transmission. When you’re
stuck., spin the wheels as little as possible.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning’Light
This light tells you that
your engine coolant has
overheated.
If you have
been operating your
vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you
should pull
off the
road, stop your vehicle
and turn the engine
off
as soon as possible.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU BADLY!
In “Problems
on the Road,” this manual shows what to do. See “Engine

r Oil Pressure Light
This light tells you if
there could be a
problem with your
engine oil pressure.
The light goes on when you turn your key to “Run” or “Start.” It goes
off
once you start your engine. That’s just a check to be sure the light works.
If it doesn’t, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When this light comes on and stays on, it means oil isn’t going through
your engine properly.
You could be low on oil, or you might have some
other oil problem.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be
costly and is not covered by your warranty.
