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 BATTERY VOLTS HIGH - 08
This message shows that the electrical charging system is overcharging,
(more than 16 volts).
To avoid being stranded have the electrical system
checked by your Cadillac dealership at your earliest convenience.
You can
reduce the charging overload by using the accessories. Turn on the lights,
radio, set the Climate Control
on “AUTO” and the fan speed on “HI”
and turn the rear window defogger on.
You can monitor battery voltage
on the Driver Information Center by toggling the “INFORMATION’’
button. When the engine is running, the normal range is 11.5 to 15.5
volts.
BATTERY VOLTS LOW - 06
This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts, or
if the battery has been drained. If this message appears
immediately after starting it is possible that the generator can still
recharge the battery.
The battery should recharge after driving a few
miles and the message should go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked
immediately to determinethe cause of this problem. To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly,
you can reduce the load on the
electrical system by turning
off your accessories. You can monitor battery
voltage on the Driver Information Center by toggling
the
“INFORMXTION” button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID - 37
This message is displayed to inform the driver that the brake reservoir
fluid level is low. Check the brake reservoir
level and add as needed.
Have the brake system serviced by a Cadillac technician as soon as
possible. If the brake warning light is on, follow the directions in that
section.
CHECK FUEL GAGE,- 39
This message will appear when your fuel supply is less than 4 gallons and
your display is turned off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid
sudden steering, acceleration, or braking (including engine braking by
shifting
to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery until
your vehicle is
skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues -- such as enough water, ice or
packed snow on the road to make a “mirrored surface”
-- and slow down
when you have any doubt.
Remember:
Any anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps avoid only the
braking skid.
DRn/lNG ATNIGHT
ia
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that
some drivers are
likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
0 Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlights
Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more

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.
