The test used to determine me city fuel economy estimate simulates a
7.5 mile
(12 km), stop and go trip with an average speed of 20 mph
(32 km/h). The trip takes 23 minutes and has 18 stops. About one fifth
of the time is spent idling, as in waiting at traffic lights or in rush hour
traffic. Two kinds
of engine starts are used: a cold start, which is similar to
starting a car in the morning after it has been parked all night and a hot
start, which is similar to restarting
a vehicle after it has been warmed up,
driven and stopped for a short time.
The test used to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents
a mixture
of “non-city” driving. Segments corresponding to different
kinds of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test
simulates a
10 mile (17 km) trip with an average speed of 48 mph
(77
km/h). The test is run from a hot start and has little idling time and
no stops.
To assure that the fuel economy numbers are most useful for consumers,
the EPA adjusts these laboratory test results to account for the difference
between controlled laboratory conditions and actual driving on the road.
The laboratory fuel economy results are adjusted downward to arrive at
the estimates on the fuel economy window sticker and the Gas Mileage
Guide. The
city estimate is lowered by 10 percent and the highway
estimate is lowered by
22 percent from the laboratory test results.
Experience has proven that these adjustments make the mileage
estimates correspond more closely to the actual fuel economy realized by
the average driver.
Even though these figures are adjusted, they still represent what the
average driver will get. Your fuel economy may be significantly higher or
lower, depending on how, when, and where your vehicle is driven. Here
are some things you can do to increase fuel economy;
Combine errands into one trip.
Turn the engine off rather than letting it idle for more than a minute.
Have your Cadillac serviced as described in the maintenance booklet.
Keep tires inflated to recommended pressures.
0 Anticipate traffic stops.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver's door tells you
the proper
size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about
the number of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight
of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options.

The Tire-Loading Information label which is shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has
been sitting
for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
SLS (270 hp)
If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph (160 km/h) where it is
legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure
of each tire to 35 psi (240 kPa).
When you end this
very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation
pressures to those listed
on the Tire-Loading Information label.

NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underidlation or overinflation is
all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air
(underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have
too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.

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.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
The
SLS tire pressures are:
Front - 28 psi (190 kPa)
Rear - 26 psi (180 Pa)
SLS recommended tire size is:
Michelin XW4 Blackwall (P225/60R16)
291

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The STS tire pressures are:
Front - 29 psi (200 kPa)
Rear - 29 psi (200 kPa)
STS recommended tire size is:
Eagle GA (2-Rated) Blackwall (P225/60ZR16)
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi
(420 kPa).
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.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
- government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.

__
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature -A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade.C corresponds to a level
of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
-. - tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
_- -
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades
are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
