If your radio
displays
an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting
the problem. With this
feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated.
This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings. The settings
recalled
by the radio are determined by which RKE
transmitter (“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back
of the RICE transmitter
corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After the unlock
button is pressed on the
RKE transmitter or the ignition
key is placed in the ignition, the radio settings
will
automatically adjust to where they were last set. The
settings can also be changed by briefly pressing the
memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.
Your Cadillac has a “built-in” theft-deterrent feature on
each radio that is automatic
-- there is no programming
required. The
radio in your Cadillac cannot be used in
any other vehicle besides another Cadillac if it were to
be removed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you’re
planning to visit there, here are some tips that can
make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle
in good shape. Check all fluid
levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system
and transaxle. These parts can work hard on
mountain roads.
Know how to
go down hills. The most important
thing to know
is this: let your engine do some of the
slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go
down a steep or long hill.
~ ~ ~~ -~ ~
Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with the
ignition off is dangerous. Your brakes will have to
do dl the work of slowing down. They codd get so
hot that they woddn9t work well. You would then
have poor braking QF even none going down a hill.
You ~dd crash. Always have your engine running
Saaaca your vehicle in gear when you go doMi.
A CAUTION:
you don’t shift down, your brakes could get so
hot that they wouldn’t work well. You would then
have
poor braking or even none going down a hu.
You could crash. Shift down to let your engine
mist
your brakes on a steep downhill slope.
Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down
to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engine
and transaxle, and you
can climb the hill better.
Stay
in your own lane when driving on two-lane
roads in hills OF mountains. Don’t swing wide or cut
across the center
of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay
in your own lane.
As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could be
something in your lane, like a stalled car or an accident.
You may see highway signs on mountains that warn of
special problems. Examples are Bong grades, passing or
no-passing zones, a falling rocks area or winding
roads. Be
dert to these and take appropriate action.

Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Cadillac and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter.
Turn off all lamps that aren’t needed as well
as radios. This will
avoid sparks and help save both
batteries.
In addition, it could save your radio!
Open
the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on
each battery.
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
clothhg and tools away from any underhood
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,

.. .. . ,
A vehicle ran fall from a car-carrier if it isn’t
adequately secured. This can cause a ccollisiora,
serious
personal injury and vehicle damage. The
vehicle should
be tightly secured with chains or
steel cabIes before it is transported.
Donst
use substitutes (ropes, leather straps,
canvas webbing, etc.) that can be cut by sharp
edges underneath the towed vehicle. Always use
2’-hooks inserted in the front T-h~ok slots or
Ha-hooks inserted in the rear R-hook slots. Never
use J-lho~ks~
They will damage drivetrain and
suspension components.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition
key turned
to the OFF position. The steering wheel
should be clamped in a straight-ahead position, with
a clamping device designed for towing service. Do not
use the vehicle’s steering column lock for this. The
transaxle should be
in NEUTRAL (N) and the parking
brake released.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the drive wheels
unless you must. If the vehicle must be towed on the
drive wheels,
be sure to follow the speed and distance
restrictions later
in this section or your transaxle will be
damaged. If these limitations must be exceeded, then the
drive wheels
have to be supported on a dolly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle is equipped with a transaxle fluid change
indicator.
A CHANGE TRANS FLUID message will
display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when
the powertrain computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each
100,080 miles
(160 080 km) interval, whichever occurs first. See your
Maintenance Schedule booklet for more information.
When this message appears, change the transaxle fluid
and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
I. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OFF and rear defog buttons on the
climate control at the same time until the
TRANS
FLUID RESET message appears on the DHC.
The cooling s stern in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain
in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km) whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL‘ extended life coolant.

The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when
it is low. If YOU have a problem with
engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating”
in
the Index.
A 50/50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
@ Give freezing protection down to -34” F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 265 OF (1 29°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as
they should.
When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only DEX-COOL~ (silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOL@is added t~
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant
will require change SOQWW 0- at
