brake system inspected right away.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully.

to
the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service. (See “Towing Your Cadillac” in the Index.)
A CAUTIEON
Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
system warning li’ght is on. Driving with the brake system
warning light
on can lead to an accident. If the light-is still on
after you’ve pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the
vehicle
towed for service.
The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your
parking brake, and it
will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you
have a brake problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light

LOCK (@)
With anti-lock,this
light will come on
when you start your
engine and may stay
on for several
seconds. That’s

ready to warn you if
there is a problem.

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.

approximately
1. gallon (3.9 liter) the “E” will flash, and the “ FUEL

Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage-
@ At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads “F”.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“8 Gallons”, but it took more -- or less -- than the tank’s
remaining capacity to
fill it.
