sit back. If
you’ve added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out
as you did before and start again.
If
you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt
will become tight again. If this happens, you can reset it.

To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you
apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from “ON” to ‘‘,/A’ for
about half

Anti-Lock Brake System Warnmg Light
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds
or so. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come
on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the key
off. Then start the engine to reset the system. If
the light still stays
on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your
Cadillac needs service. Unless the regular brake system warning light
is
also on, you will still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, see “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part.
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

6 i
c
Your Fuel Data Panel teUs you all you want to know about your fuel economy
and how
far you can travel with the fuel remaining. Here’s how it works.
DATA: Push this button to toggle between “ INST MPG” (instantaneous
miles per gallon) or the “AVG MPG” (average mile per gallon) displays.
You can also display it in metric units by pressing the “ENG MET” button.
RESET: Push this button to reset the “ AVG MPG” to zero.
AVG MPG (Average Fuel Economy): When “ AVG MPG” is selected, the
total distance is divided by the total fuel used.
INST (Instantaneous Fuel Economy): When “ INST MPG” is selected,
you
will see what your fuel economy is at that instant. The computer
takes a new reading twice
every second. It will show economy up to 70
miles per gallon (or 2 liters per 100 Kilometers).
RANGE: This display shows how far the computer thinks you can go with
the fuel that is in your tank. The computer does not know what driving
conditions
will be like for the rest of your trip, so the range is estimated
based on your previous fuel economy. Therefore, your range reading may
change as your driving habits change (going from city to highway driving
may increase the range reading).
When you get down to
40 miles to go (or, in metric 64 km) the range
display will show
“Lo”.
Your computer needs enough data for the “RANGE” reading to work,
however,
so it will read “Lo”for a while when your vehicle is brand new
(under
25 miles). Also, it will show “Lo” for a while if your battery has
been disconnected.

This message will appear when your fuel supply is less than 4 gallons and
your display
is turned off.
CHECK OIL LEVEL (Northstar Only)
This message will appear when your engine oil is approximately a quart
low. If this message is displayed, check the
oil and add as needed.
CHANGE OIL SOON
This message will appear when your engine oil is less than 10 percent or
the mileage since
the last oil change is more than 6750 miles.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed immediately. See engine oil and filter recommendations
in the
Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change, the Oil Life Index must be
reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the index on how to reset it.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT IDLE ENGINE
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
126°C (248°F). To avoid added strain on a hot engine, turn off your
Climate Control system and stop and allow your vehicle to idle until
it
cools down or the message is removed. If it does not cool down, turn off
your engine and have it serviced before driving it again. Severe engine
damage can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
ENGINE HOT - A/C COMPRESSOR OFF
This message will appear when the Climate Control is in “Auto” or
Defrost and the engine coolant is hotter than
the normal operating
temperature. To avoid added strain on a hot engine the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned
off. When that happens, air
conditioned air
is not delivered. If the coolant temperature returns to
normal, you must select
“AUTO”, “DEFOG” or Defrost to return to a
normal A/C compressor operation.
FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW
This message serves as a warning that the fuel level in your tank is
critically low. It means you shwld stop for fuel immediately.

vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
TRANS FLUID RESET (Northstar Only)
With the engine not running and the ignition ON, press and hold the
OFF and REAR DEFOG buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET
message appears in the Information Center (between S and 20 seconds).
This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile that you have your
turn signal on.
TRUNK OPEN
This message indicates that your trunk is open when the Ignition is ON.
VERY LOW REFRIGERANT
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is low enough to cause damage to the
NC
compressor. To avoid damage, the A/C compressor automatically turns
off and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from
“AUTO” to
“ECON” and remain there. Have vour A/C system serviced if
this message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount of steering effort is greatly increased to provide
a manual like
steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability\

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You’ll see how much oil life you have left, as a percentage. So, if you see
“95 OIL LIFE INDEX,” for example, that means that the way you’re
driving your car,
95% of your current oil life is still left.
The
“OIL LIFE INDEX’ may say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written
record
of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more
information on
when to change your oil, see the “Maintenance
Schedule.”
If you see “CHANGE OIL
SOON,” it means that you have less than 10%
of your oil life left, and you should consider changing your engine oi\
l.
If you see
“CHANGE ENGINE OIL,” it means the oil life is gone and
you should change the oil right away (certainly within
200 more miles
[320 km]).
The system probably will say to change the oil between 3000 miles (5000
km) and 7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it before
3000 under very severe conditions. It all depends on your driving
patterns. If it’s been
7500 miles (12500 km) it will say to change oil.
There are
two things the system doesn’t do:
It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in
a dusty area, you should change your oil every 3000 miles (5000 km)
or
3 months (whichever comes first), unless the display says to change
it even sooner than that.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check
Also, for the system to work right, it is important that you use SG oil, as
discussed earlier. for that.
To see how,
see Index under “Engine Oil.”
when You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do it, display
the “OIL LIFE INDEX’ by pressing the “Information” button. Then
press and hold the “STORE/RECALC’ buttons
until the display shows
“100.”

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This doughnut-shaped logo (symbol) is used on most oil containers to
help you select the correct oil.
You should look for this on the oil container, and use
only those oils that
display the logo.
GM Goodwrench@ oil
(in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the
requirements for your vehicle.
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 vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
life index (EOLI) feature as part of the Driver Information Center
display (DIC). Oil change intervals are determined
by the EOLI and will
usually fall at, or between, the two recommended alternative intervals of
3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) and 7,500 miles (12,500 kilometers), but
could
be shorter than 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) under some very
severe driving conditions shown in Schedule I. The system will also
indicate the need for an
oil change if 7,500 miles (12,500 kilometers) or
one year has passed.
Engine oil life remaining
is displayed through engine data as the ‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ and as a
‘CHANGE ENGINE OIL message. The ‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ display includes a number between
0 and 100. This is the
percentage
of oil life REMAINING based on driving conditions and
mileage driven since the last time
of the oil life indicator was reset. When
the remaining oil life is less than
lo%, a ‘CHANGE OIL SOON’ message
will appear. This is a reminder to schedule an engine oil change. When
the oil life index reaches
0, the ‘CHANGE ENGINE OIL: message will
appear. This indicates that no oil life remains and the oil should be
changed as soon as possible, but certainly within the next 200 miles (320
km).
The EOLI will not detect excessively dusty conditions or engine
malfunctions which may effect the oil.
If you drive in dusty areas, change
the engine
oil after every 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) or 3 months
(whichever comes first), unless instructed
to do so sooner by the DIC.
On Northstar 4.6 Liter engine equipped vehicles a ‘CHECK OIL LEVEE
message will appear whenever the oil level’s approximately one quart low.
