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
;I full-six ticc, or if II corms on uguin when you’re driving, your Cadillac

Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the passenger
compartment
of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop
or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all
these in the proper place.
COMPACT SPARE TIRE
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It
should be
60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your
spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be
in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.

TIRES
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new Cadillac.
If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a
tire warranty folder from each
of these manufacturers.

GA Performance Blackwall (P225/60ZR 16)
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended
in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index.
FRONT Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that
all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque’’ in the
Index.

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.
A CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while driving. If you
mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted
tires), the vehicle
may not handle properly, and you could have a
crash. Be sure to use the same size and type tires on all four
wheels.
It’s
all right to drive with your compact spare, though. It was
developed for use
on your vehicle.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United
States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires
by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only
to vehicles sold
in the United States.)
