Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 Wa). After installing the compact spare on your
vehicle, you should stop as soon as possible and make sure your spare tire
is correctly inflated. The compact spare is made to perform well at posted
speed limits for distances up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km). The compact
spare is made to go up to
3,000 miles (5 000 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.
NOTICE:
Don’t take your compact spare through an automatic car wash \
with guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on the rails.
That can damage the tire and wheel, and maybe other parts
of
your vehicle.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don’t
mix your compact spare or wheel with other wheels or tires.
They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel together.

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 Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil
-- 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 (12 000 km) or 12 months
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 km) or sooner if the
“Change Oil Soon” 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, display the “OIL LIFE LEFT” message
by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the
RESET button until the display shows “100”. This resets the
oil life index.
The message will remain off until the next oil change
is needed. The
percentage
of oil life remaining may be checked at, any time by pressing
the INFORMATION button several times until the “OIL LIFE LEFT”
message appears. For more information on the Oil Life Index feature,
see
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather, 0” F (-18OC) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Add Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant surge tank.
To Check or Add Coolant
When the engine is cold, remove the pressure cap from the surge tank;
use
a flashlight as necessary to see into the tank. The coolant level should
be visible inside the tank.
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix.

When your brake fluid falls to a low level, the “CHECK BRAKE
FLUID” message will display on the Driver Information Center and your
brake warning light will come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in
the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid
Remove the cap.
i
MAX FILL
.i
/’
The fluid level must be
to the
“MAX FILE‘
line at the base of the
neck as shown.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make sure the level is
above
“MIN” and or slightly below or at the “MAX” indicator.
When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light
will
come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
?Khat to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
Delco Supreme
ll@ (GM Part No.1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container
only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap
before removing it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiDer motor
is protected by a circuit breaker
and a fuse.
If the motor overhkats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options r
1 Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load
is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away. 7
