Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even
when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.
-.. :. -- -2.:
A CAUTION:
Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.
These include liquids like gasoline, oil, coolant, brake fluid,
windshield washer and other fluids, and plastic or rubber. You
or others could be burned. Be careful not to drop or spill things
that will burn onto
a hot engine.
Before closing the hood,
be sure all the filler caps are on properly.
Then just pull the
hood down until it’s about 15 inches (38 cm) from
closing. Then close it firmly.
FLUID USAGE LABEL
Use the fluid usage label to identify the correct fluid you want to check.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To check the fluid level:
0 Park your vehicle on a level place.
Place the shift lever in "P" (Park) with the parking brake applied.
With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each
gear range, pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then,
position the shift lever in "P" (Park).
0 Let the engine run at idle for three to five minutes.
Then, without shutting
off the engine, follow these steps:
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel.
2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and then pull it back out
again.

Your brake master cylinder is here. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
,. ! J
There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master
cylinder might
go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an
acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out
of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake
system fixed, since a leak means that sooner
or later your brakes won’t
work well, or won’t work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off” your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak.
If you add fluid when
your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new
brake linings.
You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only
when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
I
I A= CAUTION
I
I only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
If you have too much brake fluid, it can spill on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is hot enough. You or others could
be burned, and your vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid
U
When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will
come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid:
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. If it’s low, fill it
to the maximum “FLUID LEVEC’ indicator.
285

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What to Add:
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
Delco Supreme
11s (GM part No.1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only.
REPLACING BRAKE SYSTEM PARTS
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have
to be
of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles
we design and test have top-quality GM brake
parts in them, as your Cadillac does when it is new. When you replace
parts of your braking system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have to have new ones put in
-- be sure you get new
genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don't, your brakes may no longer
work properly. For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes
can change, for the worse. The braking performance you've come to
expect can change in many other ways if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.

Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedoms battery. You never have to
recommend a Delco Freedoms battery. Get one that has the catalog
number shown on the original battery’s label.
__ add water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we
?+hide 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.
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 LLJump Starting’’
in the Index for tips on working around a battesy without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
- .-
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over 20 minutes
to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
Apply the parking brake.
Make sure the front wheels are straight.
Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
~
-
Start the engine in ‘‘P” (Park) and let it idle for 15 minutes. Then:
idle
for 3 minutes or more. Do not accelerate the engine. Then:

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you ever have a problem
on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you
can “borrow” one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your car
that you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette lighter -- and
use its fuse,
if it is of the value you need. Be sure to use the correct fuse.
Replace it as soon as you can. There
is a fuse removal tool provided on
the fuse panel cover.

The fuse block is located under the instrument panel, next to the parking
brake.
To release and lower the fuse block, squeeze the two tabs together. Then,
pull it toward
you. It will drop down so the fuses can be accessed.
Remove the cover to access the fuses.
To put the cover on, insert the tabs into the lower part
of the fuse block,
then snap it in place.
Squeeze the tabs together and then push the fuse panel back up into the
instrument panel until it locks in place.
