You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one will read the correct mileage. This is because the
computer stores the mileage in memory.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights
go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information System” in the Index.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s
hydraulic brake system
is divided into
two
parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part
can still work and stop
you. For good braking,
though, you need both
parts working
well.

L-l
This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Engine Cooling When Trailering
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during severe operating
conditions such as;
Climbing grades steeper than 4% at ambient temperatures above
90” Fahrenheit (32’Celsius) with a loaded vehicle and trailer.
Stopping after high-speed driving.
Idling for long periods in stop and go traffic.
If “ENGINE
HOT A/C COMPRESSOR OFF” message appears on the
Driver Information Center, do not be alarmed. This is a normal function
designed to reduce the load on the engine and cooling system you can
continue to drive your vehicle.
If “ENGINE COOLANT
HOT” message appears on the Driver
Information Center, pull off to the side of
the road as soon as it is safe to
do so. When the vehicle is at a complete stop, shift the transmission
selector to
P (Park) and allow the engine to idle. Do not turn off the
engine or increase engine speed above a normal idle. Within
two or three
minutes the system should cool sufficiently to allow
A/C operation to
resume. At that
time resume driving at a reduced speed. Return to
normal driving after
10 minutes if the “ENGINE COOLANT HOT”
message
is not displayed.
Maintenance when Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer.
See
the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are
especially important
in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid
(don’t overfill), engine oil, belts, cooling system, and brake wear. Each of
these is covered
in this manual, and the Index will help you find them
quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review these sections
before
you start your trip.
Check periodically
to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.
