With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can help on long trips. Cruise
control does not work at speeds below about 25 tnph
(40 km/h).
Cruise control shuts off when
you apply your brakes

can’t drive safely at a steady speed.

If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you're not using cruise, you might hit
a button
and
go into cruise when you don't want to. You
could be startled
and even lose control. Keep
the cruise control switch
off until you want to
use it.
1. Move the cruise control
switch to ON.
2. Accelerate to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET CRUISE
button at the end of the
lever and release it. The

Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then
applying the brake
will end the cruise function.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kdh) or more,
vou can move the cruise
Lontrol switch
from ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half
a second to
reset. This returns you to
your desired preset speed.
Also note that the DIC
will display the CRUISE
ENGAGED message again.
Remember,
if you hold the switch at RIA longer than
half
a second, the vehicle will accelerate until you
release the switch
or apply the brake. You could be
startled and even lose control. So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A.
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Push the button at the
end of the lever and then
release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
2. Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it
there until you reach a desired speed and then
release the switch.
(To increase your speed in very
small amounts, nlove the switch to R/A. Each time
you
do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph
( 1.6 kdh) faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you have
set the cruise control speed by pushing the
SET
CRUISE button.

Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down
to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal
to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of c.ourse, applying the brakes
or downshifting into
FIRST (1) takes you out of cruise
control. Many drivers find this to be
too much trouble
and don't use cruise control
on steep hills.
There are two ways
to end cruise control:
0 Step lightly on the brake pedal.
0 Move the CRUISE switch to OFF.
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the cruise control or the ignition.

soon as possible. If the brake warning light is on, follow
the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 02: This message will
appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician as
soon
as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE - 39: This message will
appear when the fuel supply
is less than four gallons
(15.2 L) and the display is turned off (digital clusters
only). A single chime will also sound when this
message is displayed.
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on
a level surface.
A false CHECK 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 CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked
on level ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure
the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message will
appear
for several seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43: This message will appear
for
a few seconds when you select a speed at which
to cruise.
DOOR OPEN - 141: The passenger’s door or rear
doors are open or ajar when this message appears. The
vehicle’s engine must be running and the transaxle not
in PARK
(P) for this message to display, A chime will
also sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater than
5 mph (8.1 km/h).
DRIVER DOOR OPEN - 140: This message will
display when the vehicle
is being shifted out of
PARK (P) with the engine running to signal that
the driver’s door
is open or ajar. A chime will also
sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater than
5 mph (8.1 kdh).
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature
is over 248°F ( 126°C). To avoid added
strain
on a hot engine turn off the 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 the engine and have it serviced before
driving it again. Severe engine damage can result

Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal
or always decrease
stopping distance.
If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop. even though
you have
anti-lock brakes.
thg AnJ:i=f,.ciick
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you.
You may hear the
anti-lock pump or motor operate. and feel the brake
pedal pulsate. but this is normal.
Your vehicle
has a traction control system that limits wheel
spin.
This is especially useful in slippely road conditions.
The system operates only
if it senses that one or both of
the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.
When
this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel
spin.
The TRACTION ENGAGED message will display on
the Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See “Driver Information
Center Messages”
in the Index. You may feel or hear the
system working, but this
is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you
to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control”
in
the Index.)
This warning light will
come
on to let you know if
there’s
a problem with your
traction control system.
TRACTION
CONTROL
See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will
not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes
on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin.
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But
you can turn the
traction control system off
if you ever need to. (You
should turn
the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
