again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you
still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If
the regular brake system warning light
is also on, you
don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part. The
anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also
come on when you are driving with a compact spare tire.
If this happens, the light means you won’t have
anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a
full-size tire. If the warning light stays on after you
replace the compact spare with a full-size tire, or if it
comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.

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 may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLN to indicate
that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without
resetting the tape clean timer.
If you notice a reduction in
sound quality,
try a known 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.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
It
is normal for the cassette to eject while cleaning. Insert
the cassette at least
three times to ensure thorough
cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Cadillac dealer. You
may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not.
eject. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing
type cleaner.

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.

or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust.

clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean
it, wiping from 'the center to the edge.

discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an Oil Life Indicator. This feature will
let you know when to change your oil and
filter
-- 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
(whichever occurs first) 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 krn) or sooner if the CHANGE
ENGINE
OIL 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 key to the on
position with the engine stopped. Fully push and release
the accelerator pedal
three times within five seconds.
The light should flash two times, then go out if
it is
reset.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on
for five seconds,
it did not reset. You:’Uneed to reset the
system again.
What to Do witL 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 rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking
it to a place that collects used oil, If
you have
a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.
