Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound
quality, ruined cassettes, or
a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should
be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat.
If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause
failure
of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each month or after
every
15 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
163

good cassette to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has
no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions provided with it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over
time. Always make sure that the cassette tape is
in good condition before
you have your tape player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other
protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust.
If the surface of
a disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent
solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up
discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge
of the hole and the outer
edge.
Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and work well if it’s cleaned from
time to time.
To Clean the Antenna Mast:
1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna to full mast
extension.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe cloth over the mast sections, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe dry with clean cloth before retracting.
5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the radio or ignition on
and
off.
6. Then repeat if necessary. I II

moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).

Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if
you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil
-- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change. Under severe
conditions, the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles (5 000 km).
Never drive your vehicle more than 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months
without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust
in the oil. So, if you drive in a dusty area, be
sure to change your oil every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or sooner if the
“Change Oil Soon” light comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life
Indicator when the oil has been changed. For more information, see
“Oil Life Indicator” in the Index.
How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, 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 OIC’ light comes on and stays on for 5 seconds, it did
not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
An engine coolant heater can’be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather,
0 F (-18 C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil
stay
on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or
