belt CADILLAC FLEETWOOD 1994 Service Manual

Q: What’s wrong with this?
A: The belt is torn.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart
under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.

YOUR DRIVIlNG AND THE ROAD
Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and
in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on driving.
DEFENSZFE DMNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a
very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle
up. (See “Safety Belts”
in the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads,
or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”

If,

The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good
reason to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts
properly.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge
of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery
should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing
in the way, steer
so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
You can turn the steering wheel up to 114 turn until the right front tire
contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel to go straight
down the roadway.

Engine Cooling When Trailering
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during severe operating
conditions such as;
Climbing grades steeper than 4% at ambient temperatures above
90’Fahrenheit (32O Celsius)
with a loaded vehicle and trailer.
0 Stopping after high-speed driving.
0 Idling for long periods in stop and go traffic.
If the “TEMP” warning light comes on, pull
to the side of the road as
soon as it is safe to do
so. When the vehicle is at a complete stop, shift the
transmission selector to P (Park) and allow the engine to idle. If your
Electronic Climate Control system is on, shut it
off. Do not turn off the
engine or increase engine speed above a normal idle. Within
two or three
minutes the system should cool sufficiently to allow A/C operation to
resume. At that time resume driving at a reduced speed. Return to
normal driving after
10 minutes if the “TEMP” warning light is not
displayed.
Maintenance when Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer.
See the Maintenance Schedule for details. Things that are especially
important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t
overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, engine drive belt, cooling system, and
brake adjustment. Each of these is covered in this manual. The Index will
help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review
these sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to
see that all hitch attaching nuts and bolts are tight.

The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired
well because of the size or location of the damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle
when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s
sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are
designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride
and other things during normal service on your vehicle. If your tires have
an all-season tread design, the TPC number
will be followed by a “MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and
construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.

r Care Of Wood Panels
Use a clean cloth moistened in warm soapy water, (use mild dish
washing soap). Dry the wood immediately with a clean cloth.
CARE OF SAFETYBELTS
Keep belts clean and dry.
GLASS
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco
smoke and dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANIING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD AND WIPER BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running,
wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with The windshield
is clean if beads
do not form when
you rinse it with water.
