c-. A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition and emission
control systems. One
of these lights should come on when the ignition is
on, but the engine
is not running, as a check to show you it is working. If
the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed right away. If it stays on or it
comes on while
you are driving, the computer is indicating that you have a
problem. You should take your vehicle in soon for service.

NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while
the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy
won’t be
as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs not covered
by your warranty.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine LOW OIL LEVEL - 36
For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be -
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has been
off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check
your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine Oil”
in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in your maintenance schedule booklet. After an
oil
change the Oil Life Index must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the
Index on how to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248” F (126O C). To avoid added strain on a hot engine turn off your
Climate Control system. 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.

The Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) automatically controls the ride of
your vehicle. The system controls damping forces in the shock absorbers
and struts in response to various road and driving conditions. The system
- .-
is capable of making these changes within milliseconds.
The Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control
and monitor the system. The computer receives input from vertical rotary
I__
position sensors, vehicle speed sensors, lift and dive signals and
determines optimum strut valving (suspension stiffness) for your current
operating conditions. The computer also receives feedback from the
various components to determine proper system operation. If the
computer receives an incorrect feedback from the system, an error code
will be set in memory and a SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message will
display on the Driver Information Center. If this message should appear,
have your vehicle serviced at your Cadillac dealership at your earliest
convenience.
Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change your engine oil. It's based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see the display press the INFORMATION button several times until

"I You'll see how much
oil life you
have left as
a percentage. For
example, if
you see 95 - ---
OIL LIFE LEFT, that
means that the way
c_
you're driving your car,
95% of your current oil
life is still left.
