FUEL GAGE
fI
I
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The
17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC’ light will go on.
If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the
“LOW FUEC’ will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are
a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage.
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.

It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/Y, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity -
to fill it. I
The gage changes when you turn (or stop,or speed up)
OIL LIFE INDICATOR
Your Cadillac has an Oil Life Indicator feature. This tells you when you
need to change your engine
oil. It’s based upon the engine oil
temperatures and your driving patterns.

even say to change it before
3000 miles under severe conditions. It all
depends on your driving patterns. (If it doesn’t, or
if it doesn’t even light
up, then something is wrong.
You will need to have it serviced.)
There are
two things the system won’t do: It can’t sense heavy dust in the
places where you drive.
If you drive in a dusty area, you should change
your oil every
3000 miles (5000 krn) or 3 months (whichever comes first),
unless the
“CHANGE OIL? light comes on sooner.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have
so you will still have to check for
that.
To check it, see the Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do that, turn
the ignition switch to the
“ON” position with the engine stopped. Fully
depress and release the accelerator pedal
3 times within 5 seconds.
If the “CHANGE OK’ light comes on and stays on for
5 seconds, it did
not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.

A CAUTION:
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on
your radio to
a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.

Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and

“Drive ahead.” Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads
for situations that might affect your passing patterns.
If you have any
doubt whatsoever about making a successful pass, wait for
a better
time.
Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines. If you can see a
sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your
pass.
A broken center line usually indicates it’s all right to pass
(providing the road ahead is clear). Never cross a solid line on your
side
of the lane or a double solid line, even if the road seems empty of
approaching traffic.
If you suspect that the driver of the vehicle you want to pass isn’t
aware
of your presence, tap the horn a couple of times before passing.
Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re
awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces
your area of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle.
Also,
you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or
stops. Keep back a reasonable distance.
When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate
but stay in the right lane and don’t get
too close. Time your move so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other
lane. If the way is clear to pass, you will have a “running start” that
more than makes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back.
And if something happens
to cause you to cancel your pass, you need
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone isn’t trying to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors
, glance over your shoulder, and start your left
lane change signal before moving out of the right lane to pass. When
you are far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back
into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirror is
convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from
you than it really is.)
