r_ Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains
will clean off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
0 Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull
knife or scraper. Use
very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing
to a clean
section of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an
air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp
to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See
the previous NOTICE.)
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains
Such as grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream,
chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils,
wax crayon, tar and
asphalt.
Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them and may cause them to spread.
Non-Greasy Stains
Such as catsup, coffee (black), egg; fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks,.
wine, vomit, urine and blood.
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool
water.
0 If a stain remains, follow the foam-type instructions described earlier.

Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when
worn.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR
CrnILUC
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your Whicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by
washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong
soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild
detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that contain acid or
abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed
to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish
with a soft, clean
chamois
or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water
spotting.
High pressure vehicle washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish. You can get
GM approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materials” in
the Index.)
Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and
polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish.

instructions to get you back
on the road.
To resolve more complex problems, the advisor will page an
experienced Cadillac dealership Service Technician. The technician\

call you and evaluate the possible cause. If a roadside repair is possible,

If your car is located in an area that is determined to be unsafe (by you,

can be performed. Additional
assistance
will be provided if necessary.
WIiat If Your Cadillac Cannot Be Repaired
At Roadside ? ? ?
If your car cannot be repaired at roadside within a reasonable period of
time (approximately

dealership service facility,
the advisor will arrange a tow service for you.
Towing may also be necessary after the technician has attempted a
repair, but determines that your car cannot be repaired at roadside.
Tow services are provided by independent companies, so therefore,
Cadillac
is not responsible for the tow company. During the 48 months
or
50,OOO miles/80,000 kilometers warranty period, towing services are
covered for any disablement.
