Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well
as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transaxle back and forth, you
can destroy your transaxle.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle, see “Tire Chains”
in the Index.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around
your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between

accelerator pedal while
you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when the transaxle

CADILLAC
Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or
leather with a clean, damp cloth.
Your Cadillac dealer has
two GM cleaners, a solvent-type spot lifter and a
foam-type powdered cleaner. They
will clean normal spots and stains very
well. Do not use them on vinyl or leather.
Here are
some cleaning tips:
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
Clean up stains as soon as you can -- before they set.
0 Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean area often. A soft
brush may be used if stains are stubborn.
0 Use solvent-type cleaners in a well-ventilated area only. If you use
them, don’t saturate the stained area.
0 If a ring forms after spot cleaning, clean the entire area immediately or
it will set.

Don’t saturate
the material.
Don’t rub it roughly.
As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use
a sponge to remove the
suds.
Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.
Wipe off what’s left with a slightly damp paper towel or cloth.

NOTICE:
Be careful. A blow dryer may scorch the fabric.
0 Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-Qpe Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean
off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside
of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing
to a clean section
of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with a
blow dryer to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See the previous
NOTICE.)
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains
Such as grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream,
chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and
asphalt.
0 Carefully scrape off excess stain.
0 Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them
and may cause them to spread.

The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your lvehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by
washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong
soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild
detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or
that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed
promptly and not allowed to dry
on the surface, or they could stain. Dry
the finish with a soft, clean chamois or a 100% cotton towel to avoid
surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac by hand may be
necessary to remove residue from the paint finish.
You can get GM
approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See ‘Appearance Care and
Materials” in the Index.)
Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and
polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a
basecoatlclearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave
swirl marks.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Who Will Repair Your Cadillac At Roadside ? ? ?
In many cases, the advisor at the Roadside Service Center can provide
instructions to get you back
on the road.
To resolve more complex problems, the advisor will page an experienced
Cadillac dealership Service Echnician.
The technician will call you and
evaluate the
possible cause. If a roadside repair is possible, the technician
will come to your location and provide a permanent or temporary repair.
What Bf Your Cadillac Is In An Unsafe Location Or
On A Limited Access Highway ? ? ?
If your car is located in an area that is determined to be unsafe (by you, the
advisor or the technician) or
if the vehicle is on a limited access freeway or
regulated highway, the advisor
will arrange to tow your Cadillac to a safe
location, where service can be performed. Additional assistance will be
provided
if necessary.
mat If Your Cadillac Cannot Be Repaired
At Roadside ? ? ?
If your car cannot be repaired at roadside within a reasonable period of
time (approximately
45 minutes) or requires the resources of a Cadillac
dealership service facility, the advisor will arrange a tow service for you.
Towing may also be necessary after the technician has attempted a repair,
but determines that your car cannot be repaired
at roadside.
Tow services are provided by independent companies, so therefore,
Cadillac is not responsible for the tow company. During the 48 months, or
50,000 miles/80,000 kilometers warranty period, towing services are
covered for any disablement.
