' CAUTION:
Leaving young children in a vehicle with the ignition key is
dangerous for many reasons.
A child or others could be badly
injured or even killed.
They
could operate power windows or other controls or even make
the vehicle move.
If they turned the ignition to "ON" and moved
the
shift lever out of rcP9' (Park), that would release the parking
brake. Don't leave the keys in a vehicle with young children,

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To set the parking brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push down the
parking brake pedal with your left foot. If the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light
will come on.
When you move out
of
“P” (Park) or “N”
(Neutral), if your
engine is running, your
parking brake should
go
off. If it doesn’t, you
have a parking brake
problem and should
have it fixed. In the
meantime,
you can still
release your parking
brake. Just pull on the
manual release lever,
as shown.

The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off. r
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
-
all the way in the other direction, so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from only a few seconds to
90 seconds.

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.
r
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer
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
ANTI-
LOCK (@)
With anti-lock,this
light will come on
when you start your
engine and may stay
on for several
seconds. That’s
normal.
If the light
doesn’t come on, have
it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
