Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine treadmill. These procedures ensure that each vehicle is tested under
identical conditions.
There are
two different fuel economy estimates for each vehicle, one for
city driving and one for highway driving.
To develop these two estimates,
separate tests are used to represent typical everyday city and rural
driving.
The test used to determine the city fuel economy estimate simulates a 7.5
mile (12 km), stop and go trip with an average speed of 20 mph (32
km/h). The trip takes 23 minutes and has 18 stops. About one fifth of the
time is spent idling,
as in waiting at traffic lights or in rush hour traffic.
Two kinds of engine starts are used: a cold start, which is similar to
starting a car
in the morning after it has been parked all night and a hot
start, which is similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up,
driven and stopped for a short time.
The test used to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents
a mixture of "non-city" driving. Segments corresponding to different
kinds
of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test
simulates
a 10 mile (17 km) trip with an average speed of 48 mph (77
km/h). The test is run from a hot start and has little idling time and no
stops.
To assure that the fuel economy numbers are most useful for consumers,
the EPA adjusts these laboratory test results to account for the difference
between controlled laboratory conditions and actual driving on the road.
The laboratory fuel economy results are adjusted downward to arrive at
the estimates on
the fuel economy window sticker and the Gas Mileage
Guide. The city estimate is lowered by 10 percent and the highway
estimate is lowered
by 22 percent from the laboratory test results.
Experience has proven that these adjustment.s make the mileage
estimates correspond more closely to the actual fuel economy realized by
the average driver.
Even though these figures are adjusted, they still represent what the
average driver will get. Your fuel economy may be significantly higher or
lower, depending on how, when, and where your vehicle is driven. Here
are some things you can
do to increase fuel economy;
0 Combine errands into one trip.
0 Turn the engine off rather than letting it idle for more than a minute.

ENGINE COOLANT 7
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when (. I
it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac will:
0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37OC) .
0 Give boiling protection up to 262 F (128 C) .
0 Prote-ct against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning-lights work as they shoula.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use
a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification
1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.

Mat to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
- Delco Supreme ll@ (GM Part No.1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only, and always clean
the brake fluid reservoir cap
before removing it.

Some driving cond.itions or climates may cause a brakesqueal when the
brakes are..first applied
or lightly applied. This does-not-mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
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
these 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 disc brakes adjust for
wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier s.top, 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 prsperly.
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 itsomeone puts in the wrong
replacement
brake parts.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts
on your vehide can be dangerous. It could affect the braking
and handling
of your vehicle, make your tires lose air and make
you lose control. You could have a collision in which
you or
others could be iqjured.
Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life,
brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire
or tire
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels
I
I A CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is dangerous. You can’t
know how it% been used or how many miles it’s been driven. It
could fail suddenly and cause an accident.
If you have to replace
a wheel use a GM original equipment wheel.
