lock CADILLAC DEVILLE 1994 7.G Service Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
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.
Engine Temperature Warning Light (Canadian Only)
This light tells you that
your engine has
overheated. You should
stop the car and idle the
engine as soon as
possible. A warning
chime should also sound
if this light comes on. As
a check, the light should
come on for a few
seconds when
you start
your engine.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU BADLY!
In “Problems on the Road,” this manual shows what to do. See “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system will go off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P” (Park), the system will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on for
two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield. In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delco@ sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it if
YOU acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco@ system can
do and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most
out
of the advanced engineering that went into it.
FM Stereo
-
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
AM
.-.
The range for most AMstations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines. Try reducing the treble
to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
This means your radio can produce quality
AM sound comparable to FM
stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition
to improved sound quality, AMAX@

may be present
on each band by pressing two adjoining buttons at the
same time. Just:
0 Tune in the desired station.
Press the SET button.
0 Within 5 seconds, press any two adjoining pushbuttons at the same
time. (The station will return when the same
two buttons are pressed
again
.)
-. Five Band Graphic Equalizer
The equalizer lets you set the bass, midrange and treble to sound just the
way you want. The
60 and 250 controls work the bass side. The midrange
is the 1K The 3.3K and 10K are the treble sound controls.
We suggest that
you start with the midrange (1K) control lever in the
center. Then move the other controls until you get the sound you want.
Moving the control levers up
(+) gives your more sound in that range.
Moving it down
(-) gives you less.
If
the 10 K control lever is near the top, you may hear a hissing sound. To
eliminate it, move the 10K control lever down until the hiss goes away.
Your Cassette Tape Player
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin that they may not
work well in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label or box, it should say whether its bias,
“equalization” is
70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are 120 p sec.
Your tape player
will adjust automatically for either type of cassette tape.

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.
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.
If there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake system, the
anti-lock brake system warning light will stay
on.
See “Anti-lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. If one of the wheels is
about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work 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.
