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.

Cmtinuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in
I
costly brake repair
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
Rear Drum Brakes
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a
rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected.
Also, the
rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires
are removed for rotation or changing. When
you have the front brakes
replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if
there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your brakes adjust for wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes might
not adjust correctly. If you drive in that way, then
-- very carefully -- make
a
few moderate brake stops about every 1000 miles (1600 km), so your
brakes will adjust properly.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you
can steer and brake at the same time.
In many emergencies, steering can
help you more than
even the very best braking.

If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine:
-- . If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, the problem
may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot
when you:
- Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high speed driving.
0 Idle for long periods in traffic.
0 Tow a trailer.
-
If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam, try this for a
1. Turn off your air conditioner.
- minute or so:
- 2. Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan speed and open the
window as necessary.
3. If you’re in a traffic jam, shift to “N” (Neutral).
If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes.
If the warning doesn’t come back on,
you can drive normally.
-
-
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle right
away.
237
e. If there’s still no sign of steam, you can idle the engine for two or three
minutes while you’re parked,
to see if the warning stops. But then, if you
still have the warning, TURN
OFF THE ENGINE AND GET
EVERYONE OUT
OF THE VEHICLE until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service help right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type
(P Metric) tires must
conform
to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest
tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be rebalanced.
Meel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be
replaced. If the wheel leaks air out, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer
if any
of these conditions exist.
Your dealer
will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have
the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the riqht wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
Cadillac model.

Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your
vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces
of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.
