ABS CADILLAC DEVILLE 1993 7.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TRACTION CONTROL (OPTION)
If you have this feature, this brake only Traction Control complements
your anti-lock braking system.
Traction Control regulates tire spin during low-speed acceleration and
steady driving.
The Traction Control Brake-Only System uses the same wheel speed
sensors used by your Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). When wheel slip is
detected by the wheel sensors, the electronic control module sends a
signal to the brake pressure modulator to apply pressure pulses to the
brakes. Traction is then maximized and your vehicle is enabled to
accelerate or continue driving with a controlled amount of tire slip. This
low-speed system controls tire slippage and is fully functional until you
reach
a speed of 24 mph and then the traction control is gradually phased
out as your vehicle reaches
30 mph. To keep you informed of changing
road conditions the “TRACTION
ACTIVE” telltale light will illuminate
when the system
is activated.
-
Because this is a brake only Traction Control system, it is designed to
protect your vehicles powertrain components. The system
will
temporarily by disabled should the brakes or transaxle reach excessively
high temperatures and prolonged use
of traction control. The
“TRACTION
OFF” telltale light in the instrument panel informs you
when this system is not in operation.
ELECTRONIC LEVEL CONTROL
This keeps your vehicle level.
The ignition does not have to be
“ON” for the level control to work. The
system consists
of an electronic height sensor, a small electric air
compressor, and air adjustable shock absorbers mounted on the rear
of
the vehicle.
If the system has a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For a massive air leak, the air compressor will stay on
for approximately 7
minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but you can keep driving
your Cadillac.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances,
you
will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better
braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake normally but
don’t pump your brakes.
If you do, the pedal may get harder to push
down. If your engine stops, you will still have some power brake assist.
But you will use
it when you brake. Once the power assist is used up, it
may take longer
to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent skidding.
This light on the
instrument panel will
go on when you start
your vehicle.

Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet. You're driving
safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front
of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. The computer
separately works the brakes at each front wheel and at the rear wheels.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver
could. The computer
is programmed to make the most of available tire
and road conditions.
-You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and
controls braking pressure accordingly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
I Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to
the brake pedal.
If you get too close to the vehicle in front of
you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows
or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to.
stop, even
t- lug ~OU have anti-lock brakes. ..
To Use Anti-Lock:
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock
work for you.
When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away,
you may hear a
momentary motor or clicking noise. And you may even notice that your
brake pedal moves a little while this is going
on. This is the ABS system
testing itself. You may also hear this during
a hard stop.
Traction Control System (Option)
Your vehicle may have a traction control system that limits wheel spin.
This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The traction control
system works at low speeds only, such as when you accelerate from
a stop.
It applies brake pressure to an individual wheel that the system senses is
about to spin.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control
more limited.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid
sudden steering, acceleration, or braking (including engine braking by
shifting to
a lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is
skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues
-- such as enough water, ice or
packed snow on the road to make a “mirrored surface”
-- and slow down
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock braking system
(ABS) helps avoid only the
braking skid. Steer the way you want to go.
DRIPTNG AT NIGHT
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that
some drivers are likely to be impaired
-- by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or
by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
0 Drive defensively. Remember, this is the most dangerous time.
0 Don’t drink and drive. (See “Drunken Driving” in the Index for more
on this problem.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Your vehicle has bulb warning lights. When you plug trailer lights into
your vehicle’s lighting system, its bulb warning lights may not let you
know if one
of your lights goes out. So, when you have trailer lights
plugged in, be sure to check your vehicle and trailer lights
from time to
time to be sure they’re all working. Once you disconnect the trailer lights,
the bulb warning lights again can tell you if one of your vehicle lights is
out.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade.
If 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 to “3” (Drive) and reduce your speed
to
45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle
overheating.
Parking on Hills
You really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill.
If something goes wrong, your rig could start to move. People can be
injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.
But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here’s how to do it:
1. Apply your regular brakes, but don’t shift into “P” (Park) yet.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes until
the chocks absorb the load.
4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then shift into “P” (Park) firmly and
apply your parking brake.
5. Release the regular brakes.

1. Disconnect the wiper insert by bending the end of the insert gently
2. Now pull the insert from the blade housing.
using pliers.
Then pull it from the housing retaining tab.
3. Reinstall the new insert by aligning the blade housing tabs and the
edge
of the insert. Make sure that the insert is connected to all the
housing tabs.
4. Install the wiper blade assembly to the wiper arm.

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.
