You can move the
shoulder belt adjuster
to the height that is
right for
you.
To move it up or
down, squeeze the
release handle. When
you release the
handle, try to
move it
down
a little to make
sure it has locked into
position.
You can move the
adjuster up from a
lower position by
pushing the bottom
of the release handle.

that the shoulder portion
of the belt is
properly positioned on
your shoulder, away
from your face and
neck.
To help you find a height that is right for you, follow these guidelines:
For a tall person: Use the upper or upper-middle position.
For
a person of average height: Use a position somewhere in the middle.
For a short person: Use the lower or lower-middle position.

The Speed Sensitive Suspension automatically controls the firmness of
your Cadillac’s ride.
An actuator in each of the four struts will change
ride firmness depending on vehicle speed and other driving conditions.
As the vehicle speed increases, the firmness of the suspension changes to
one or three damping modes “Comfort”, for speeds less than
40 mph,
“Normal” for speeds between
40 and 60 mph, and “Firm” for speeds
greater than
60 mph. The system also stiffens damping during hard
acceleration, braking and cornering for increased control.
A computer is used to control and monitor the system. The computer
receives speed, acceleration and determines optimum mode strut v\
alving
(or suspension stiffness) for your current operating conditions\
. The
computer also receives feedback from the struts to determine proper
system operation. If the computer receives an incorrect feedback from
the system,
an error code will be set in memory and a message
“SERVICE RIDE CONTROC‘
will be displayed until the problem is
corrected. If this message should appear, have your vehicle serviced at
your Cadillac dealer at your earliest convenience.
Electronic Level Control
This keeps your car level.
The ignition has
to be “ON” for the level control to work. When you turn
the ignition off, you may hear the level control exhausting. The system
consists of an electronic height sensor, a small electric air compressor,
and air adjustable shock absorbers mounted on the rear of
the vehicle.
If the system has a slight leak, the air compressor
will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For a massive air leak, the air compressor
will stay on for approximately 7
minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but you can keep driving
your Cadillac, though.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets. \
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if
there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Agustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for
wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes might
not adjust correctly. If you drive
in that way, then -- very carefully -- make
a few moderate brake stops about every
1000 miles (1600 km), so your
brakes will adjust properly.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you
can steer and brake at
the same time. In many emergencies, steering can
help you more than even the
very best braking.
STEERING
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system
fails to function, you can steer but it
will take much more effort.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
