the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind
your vehicle.
If your battery has run down, you may want
to use
another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your
Cadillac. Please follow the steps below to do
it safely.
NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage
to
your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
Trying to start your Cadillac by pushing or
pulling it won’t work and it could damage
your vehicle.
I A CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be
dangerous because:
They contain acid that can burn you.
They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
They contain enough electricity to
If you don’t follow these steps exactly, some or all
of these things can hurt you.
burn
you.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with
a negative ground system.

Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection
you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Cadillac and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter. Turn
off all lamps that aren’t needed as well
as radios.
This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries.
In addition, it could save your radio!
Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find
the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on each battery.
I A CAUTION:
c
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away
from any underhood
electric fan.

5. Start by removing the red positive (+)
terminal cover.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle
is to have really good braking.
Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top-quality
GM brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have
to have new ones put in -- be sure
you get new approved
GM replacement parts. If you
don’t,
your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for
your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change
-- for the worse. The braking
performance you‘ve come
to expect can change in many
other ways
if someone puts in the wrong replacement
brake parts.
bi
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom“ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number
shown
on the original battery’s label.
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take
off the black, negative (-) cable from
the battery. This
will help keep your battery from
running down.
A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see ”Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in the Index.
