CADILLAC FLEETWOOD 1993 2.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine - Convex Outside Mirror
Your right side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s
seat. _1
- 1 A CAUTION:
If you aren’t used to a convex mirror, you can hit another
vehicle.
A convex mirror can make things (like other vehicles)
look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the right lane, you could hit
a vehicle on your right. Check
your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.

INFOWTION SYSTEM
Your instrument panel is designed to let you know at a glance how your
Cadillac is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, how much fuel
you’re using, and many of other things you’ll need to know
to drive safely
and economically.
EnglishlMetric Button

You can change from
English (miles) to
metric (kilometers) by
pushing this button.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The same button also makes other readings (like temperature, fuel and
odometer) go between English and metric.
Speedometer and Qdometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph)
and kilometers per hour (kmih). Your odometer shows how far your
vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the
U.S.) or kilometers
(used
in Canada).
Trip Qdometer
You can tell how far you’ve gone since you last set it back to zero. To
reset, push the button.

ODOMETER
Your Cadillac Brougham has a “tamper-resistant odometer.” If your
odometer displays
ERROR, someone has tampered with it.
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new speedometer has to be programmed with the correct
mileage as the old one.
If it can’t be, then it is set at zero, but a label on
the driver’s door must show the old reading and when the new one was
installed.

This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just
to
let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not
be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light
goes on, there could be
a brake problem. Have
your brake system
inspected right away.
125
I_ This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine -I
This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and will
stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays
on after your
parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem.
If the
light comes on while driving, pull off the road and stop carefully.
You may
notice that the pedal
is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still
on, have the vehicle
towed for service. (See “Towing Your Cadillac” in the Index.)
A CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
warning light
is on. Driving with the brake warning light on can
lead to an accident.
If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off
the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for
service.
