Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tires
Your new Cadillac comes with high-quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have
questions about your tire warranty and where
to obtain
service, see your Cadillac Warranty booklet
for details.
U
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
0 Overloading your tires can cause
, overheating as a result of too much friction.
You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in
the Index.
0 Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
CAUTION: (Continued)
0 Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken by a sudden
impact
-- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires
at the recommended pressure.
0 Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread
is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
See “Inflation
-- Tire Pressure’’ in this section
speed driving.

Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Cadillac
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and
the damage wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other
components
from working as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Cadillac, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac” in the Index.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered by a MaxiFuse@. An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to
go on and off, or in some cases to
remain off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse
is a registered trademark of Little
Fuse Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools. If the overload
is caused by some electrical problem, be
sure to have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
