The fluid level must be to the maximum fill line at the base of the neck as
shown.
When your brake fluid>$alis
to a low level, your brake warning light will
come
on. See "Brake System Warning Light" in the Index.

c
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
Delco Supreme
ll@ (GM Part No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap
before removing it.
NOTICE:
e Don’t let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. For
example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such
as
engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system
parts
so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
0 Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful not to spill brake
fluid
on your vehicle. If you do, wash it off immediately. See
‘!Appearance Care” in the Index.
Brake Wear
Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound may come and
go or be heard all the time your vehicle is
moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United
States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires
by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only
to vehicles sold in the United States.)
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government
test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The
relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations
in driving habits, service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned
to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering \
(turning)
traction.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under
the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning:
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls
of passenger car tires.
While the
tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect
to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type
(P Metric) tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements
in addition to these grades.
wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give
you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you
will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving on
a smooth road, your wheels may need to
be rebalanced.

Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others
can burst into flame if you strike a match
or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous
if you breathe their fumes in a closed space.
When you use anything from a container
to clean your Cadillac, be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open
your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside.
Never use these to clean your vehicle:
Gasoline
Benzene
0 Naphtha
Carbon Tetrachloride
0 Acetone
0 Paint Thinner
0 Turpentine
0 Lacquer Thinner
0 Nail Polish Remover
They can all be hazardous -- some more than others -- and they can all
damage your vehicle, too.
Don’t use any
of these unless this manual says you can. In many uses,
these
will damage your vehicle:
Alcohol
Laundry Soap
Bleach
0 Reducing Agents
