Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How To Reset the Oil Life Indicator: After the oil has been changed,
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.

When to Check and Change:
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your fluid. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services"
in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done
at a Cadillac dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.
Wait at least
30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you
have been driving:
0 When outside temperatures are above 90" F (32°C).
0 At high speed for quite a while.
In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180°F to 200" F (82 " C to 93 " C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when
outside temperatures are above
50°F (10°C). If it's colder than 50°F
(10" C), you may have to drive longer.

The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is
low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac will:
0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C) .
0 Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128” C) .
0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0 Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use:
Use a mixture
of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets “GM Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts.
You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use these, you don’t need to add anything else.
A CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water,
or some other liquid like alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mix
will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mix. With plain
water or the wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you
wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and
you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mix of clean

0 Wipe with a clean cloth.
USING SOLVENFTTPE CLEANER ON
FABRlC
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to
use it, then:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull
knife or scraper. Use
very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside
of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing to a clean
section of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an
air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help prevent a cleaning ring.

Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Then follow the solvent-type instructions above.
0 Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them and may cause them to bleed.
Non-Greasy Stains: Like catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice,
milk,
soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood.
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool
water.
If a stain remains, follow the foam-type instructions above.
If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area with a

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine (non-detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that contain acid or
abrasives. -All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed
to dry on the surface,
or they could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean
chamois or a
100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water
spotting.
High pressure vehicle washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Pfinish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish. You can get
GM approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materials” in the
Index.)
Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.
L
CAREAND CLEmING OF PltLAETON TOP
The cloth cover material used on the Cadillac Phaeton Top option is an
extremely durable material that will, with proper care, retain its
appearance for a long period
of time. The top can also be subjected to
commercial car wash equipment procedures and cleaning solutions
without adversely affecting the appearance
of the material.
Your phaeton top should be washed frequently with neutral soapsuds and
cold or lukewarm water and a soft-bristled brush. Rinse the top with
sufficient quantities
of clear water to remove all traces of soap. If the
cover has been allowed to get severely soiled and cannot be properly
cleaned with soap and water, a mild cleaning agent can be used, such as
G.M. Multipurpose Powdered Cleaner (G.M. Part No. 1050803). Rinse
the entire top with water; then apply the mild cleaner
on a small area
(approximately
two square feet). Scrub the area with a soft-bristled hand
321

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine brush, adding water as necessary. Remove the cleaner and water with a
sponge and then rinse the balance
of the cleaner off with water. Use a
liberal amount
of water to prevent the cleaner from running down onto
the body finish and drying. This could cause streaks to the paint
finish.
If the cover material has been stained with grease, oil or tar, use G.M.
Spot Lifter (G.M. Part No. 1051398) and follow label directions.
The texture and material
of the phaeton top material causes it to be
receptive to lint accumulation; therefore, the use
of certain types of cloth
during cleaning operations
will cause a temporary lint discoloration. To
avoid this, use a brush or suitable sponge when cleaning.
No waxes, polishes, sealers or “dressing” type materials should be applied
to the top material.
ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
or other abrasive cleaners
on them because you could damage this
coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a
wax may be applied.
Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silico
carbide cleaning b
WHITE SIDEWaL TIIRES
Your Cadillac dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use
a stiff brush with it.
WEATHERSTRIPS
These are places where glass or metal meets rubber. Silicone grease there
will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six months.

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired
or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FOREIGN MATEML
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe
for painted surfaces for these
stains.
FINISH DA2MAGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
into a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
UNDERBODYMMNTENNrE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur
on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least
every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for you.
