Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
ANTI-
LOCK (@)
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come on when you start
your engine and may stay
on for several seconds. That’s normal. If the
light doesn’t come on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there
is a problem.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition
off. Then
start the engine again
to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service. If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on,
you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your
regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier
in this part.
Traction Disabled Message
If this message is displayed, there’s a problem with your traction control
system and your vehicle needs service. When this message
is displayed,
the system
will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
Traction Control System Active Message
When your traction control system is limiting wheel spin, the TRACTION
ACTIVE message will be displayed. Slippery road conditions may exist if
this message is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. This message
will stay
on for a few seconds after the traction control system stops
limiting wheel spin.

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 TRACTION DISABLED - 88
m This message will be displayed if a problem is noted in the Traction
Control System. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
TRANS FLUID RESET - 48
With the engine not running and
the ignition ON, press and hold the OFF
and REAR DEFOG buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET message
appears
in the Information Center (between five and 20 seconds).
TURN SIGNAL ON - 20
This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile, that you have your
turn signal on.
TRUNK OPEN - 24
This message indicates that your trunk is open when the ignition is ON.
VERY LOW REFRIGERANT A/C COMPRESSOR OFF - 12
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is
low enough to cause damage to the A/C
compressor. To avoid damage the A/C compressor automatically turns off
and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from AUTO
to ECON and remain there. Have your A/C system serviced
if this
message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering
is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease. As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount
of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual-like
steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability.
