This light will come on
when your cruise
control is set to a
selected speed.
Low Coolant Warning Light
-- If the coolant level in the radiator is low by 3 quarts (2.8 L) or more this
light will come on.
The light will stay on until you add coolant.
Continuing to drive your vehicle with the “Low Coolant” warning light
See “Engine Coolant” in the Index and have
your vehicle serviced as soon
as you can.
This light will come on when the ignition is on, but the engine is not
running, as a check. It doesn’t have to be fixed right away.

may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump
or somewhere else
in the cooling system.
A CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very
hot. Don’t touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
Don’t run the engine if there
is a leak. If you run the engine, it
could lose all coolant. That could cause an engine fire, and you
could be burned. Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.

If there seems to be no leak, check to see if the fan or if equipped electric --
engine fans are running. If the engine is overheating, both fans should be
running.
If they aren’t, your vehicle needs service.

If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn’t at or above
“FULL COLD,” add a 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably distilled)

A CAUTION:
I Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid like alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mix
will. Your vehicle’s coolant

wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire

6. Start the engine
and let it run until
you can feel the
upper radiator
hose getting hot.
Watch out for the
engine fans.
7. By this time the coolant level inside the radiator filler neck may be
lower.
If the level is lower, add more of the proper mix through the
filler neck until the level reaches the base of
the filler neck.

An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even
when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.
A CAUTION:
Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.
These include liquids like oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield
washer and other fluids, and plastic or rubber.
You or others
could be burned. Be careful not to drop or spill things that will
burn onto
a hot engine.
I
Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly. Then
just pull the hood down and close it firmly.
ENGINE OIL
If the “Low Oil Level” light on the instrument panel comes on, it means
you need to check your engine oil level right away. You should check your
engine oil
level regularly; the light is an added reminder.
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get
fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground. c1

When to Check and Change Lubricant:
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to check the
lubricant and when to change it. See “Periodic Maintenance Inspections”
in the Index.
How to Check Lubricant:
If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, you’ll need to add
some lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of
What to Use:
~ the filler plug hole.
Standard Differential
Use Axle Lubricant (GM Part
No. 1052271) or SAE 8OW-90 GL-5 gear
lubricant.
Limited-Slip Differential
To add lubricant when the level is low, use Axle Lubricant (GM Part No.
1052271) or SAE 8OW-90 GL-5 gear lubricant. To completely refill after
draining, add
4 ounces (1 18 ml) of Limited-Slip Differential Lubricant
Additive (GM Part
No. 1052358). Then fill to the bottom of the filler plug
hole with Axle Lubricant (GM Part
No. 1052271) or SAE 8OW-90 GL-5
~ gear lubricant.
ENGINE COOLANT
The proper coolant for your Cadillac will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37’ C) .
_- Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128°C) .
0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
__ 0 Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use:
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
269

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine _q Adding Coolant
To Check Coolant:
When your engine is
cold, the coolant level
should be at “ADD,”
or a little higher.
When your engine is
warm, the
level should
be up to
“FULL,” or a
little higher.
To Add Coolant: If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the
coolant recoverv tank. -.
Turning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator
are hot can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and
burn you badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost
never have to add coolant at the radiator. Never turn the
radiator pressure cap
-- even a little -- when the engine and
radiator are hot.
I
~
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
I A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it will burn if the engine
parts are enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.
