silicone brake fluid can dam,,e your vehicle. Don’t
use it.
0 Don’t let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. For
example, just a few drops
of mineral-based oil, such a
engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake sv,
r ~rts so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
0 Brake fluid can damage pai so be careful not to spill brake
fluid on your vehicle.

REPUCING 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
if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
BATTERY
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we
recommend a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the catalog
number shown
on the original battery’s label.

If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
FYou can be badly hurt if you aren’t careful. See “Juml
*kin the Index for tips on working around a battery wit1
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over
20 minutes to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
Apply the parking brake.
Make sure the front wheels are straight.
Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
0 Start the engine in “P” (Park) and let it idle for 15 minutes. Then:
Put your foot on the brake pedal, shift the transaxle to a and let it
idle for
3 minutes or more. Do not accelerate the engine. Then:
0 With the car in a (Drive), turn the Electronic Climate Control to
“Auto” and
let the engine idle for 3 minutes or more.
Turn your engine off.
293
Now your computer is programmed.
