hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see
if you can move the shift
lever away from “P” (Park) without first pulling it toward you (or, if you
have the console shift lever, without first pushing the button).
If you can,
it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into “P7’ (Park).
SHIFTING OUT OF “P” (PARK)
Your Cadillac has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully
apply your regular brake before you can shift from “P” (Park) when the
ignition is in the “Run” position. See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
If you cannot shift out
of “P’7 (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever --
push the shift lever all the way into “P” (Park) and also release the shift
lever button on floor shift models
as you maintain brake application.
Then move the shift lever into the gear you want. (Press the shift lever
button before moving the shift lever.) If you ever hold the brake pedal
down but still can’t shift out of “P” (Park),
try this:
1. Turn the key to “Off.” Open and close the driver’s door to turn off the

Torque Lock (Automatic Transaxle)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transaxle into “P”
(Park) properly, the weight
of the vehicle may put too much force on the
parking pawl in the transaxle. You may find it difficult to pull the shift
lever out
of “P” (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque
lock, always
be sure to shift into “P” (Park) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the Index.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push
yours a little uphill to take some
of the pressure from the transaxle, so
you can pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park).

mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice.

II
With anti-lock, this light will come on when you start your engine and
may stay on for several seconds. 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, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon
as possible and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service. If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your
regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.

Front De-Ice
Here’s how to use your heated windshield in cold weather to remove ice
or frost quickly:
1. If any snow is piled up on the windshield, brush it away.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in P (“Park”).
‘. .
n.
3. Push the switch. A light will come on to tell you it is working.
4. Try not to use other electrical equipment while the system is working.
The system will go
off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P” (Park), the system
will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on for
two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield.
In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape
player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound
quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should
be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat.
If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette
to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions provided with it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over
time. Always make sure that the cassette tape is in good condition before
you have your tape player serviced.
