For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface. A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil
level if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with
the engine off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has
been off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations”
in the Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change the
Oil Life Index must be resct. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index on how
to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248’ F (126’ C). To avoid added strain on a hot cngine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and allow your vehicle
to idle until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off your
engine and have it serviced before driving
it again. Severe engine damage
can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating” in the
Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Road Sensing Suspension
The Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) automatically controls the ride of
your vchicle. The system controls damping forces in the shock absorbers
and struts
in response to various road and driving conditions. The system
is capable of making these changes
within milliseconds.
The Road Sensing Suspension controller is
a computer used to control
and monitor thc system.
The computer receives input from vertical rotary
position sensors, vehicle speed
sensors, lift and dive signals and
determines optimum strut valving (suspension stiffness) for your current
operating conditions. The computer
also receives feedback from the
various components to determine proper system operation.
If the
computer receives
an incorrect feedback from the system, an error code
will be set in memory and a SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message will
display on the Driver Information Center. If this message should appear,
have your vehicle serviccd
at your Cadillac dealership at your earliest
convenience.
Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change your engine oil. It's based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see the display press the INFORMATION button several times until
XX OIL LIFE LEFT appears.
You'll see how much
oil life you have
left as
a percentage. So, if you
see 95 OIL LIFE
LEFT, for example,
that means that
the way
you're driving
your car,
95% of your current oil
life
is still left.
