Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH - 8: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the electrical
system checked by your dealership.
You can reduce the
charging overload by using the accessories.
Turn on the
lamps and radio, set the climate control on
AUTO and the
fan speed on
HI, and turn the rear window defogger on.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the
INFiO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
9 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message
appears immediately after starting, it
is possible that the
generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should recharge while driving but may take a few hours
to do
so. Consider using an auxiliary charger (be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions) to boost the
battery after returning home or to a final destination. If
this message appears while driving or after starting your
vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to
determine the cause of this problem.
To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce
the load on the electrical system by turning
off the
accessories.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC
by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5
to 15.5 volts.
CHANGE BRAKE PADS - 125: This message is used
to notify you that the brake pads may have worn down.
A sensor is connected to the brake pads and is triggered
when they wear to a certain point. Have the front and
rear brakes serviced by your dealer as soon as possible.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when
it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID - 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in
ON to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See “Brake
System Warning Light” in the Index.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 2: This message will
appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a technician as soon
as possible.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed
within
200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After
an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must
be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index
on how to
reset
it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As shown in the chart, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your
vehicle. However, you can use
SAE 5W-30 if it’s going
to be colder than
60 OF ( 16 “C) before your next oil
change. When it’s very cold, you should use
SAE
5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its
viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils,
such as
SAE 20W-50.
NOTICE:
Use only engine oil with the American Petroleum
Institute Certified For Gasoline Engines
“Starburst” symbol. Failure to use the recommended
oil can result in engine damage not
covered by your warranty.
GM Goodwrench@ oil meets all the requirements for
your vehicle.
If you are in an area where the temperature falls below
-20°F (-29”C), consider using either an SAE 5W-30
synthetic oil or an SAE OW-30 oil. Both will provide
easier cold starting and better protection for your engine
at extremely low temperatures.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your dealer is ready to
advise if you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has an Oil Life Indicator. This feature
will let you know when to change your oil and
filter
-- 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 (12 500 km) or 12 months
(whichever occurs first) 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. Remember to reset
the Oil Life Indicator when the oil has been changed.
For more information, see “Oil Life Indicator” in
the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, display the ENGINE
OIL LIFE message by pressing the INFO button. Then
press and hold the INFO 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 INFO button several times until
the ENGINE
OIL LIFE message appears. For more
information on the Oil Life feature, see “Oil Life
Indicator” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin
for
very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be
a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If
you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for
help.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Automatic Transaxle Fluid
When to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every
50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one
or more of these conditions:
0 In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
0 In hilly or mountainous terrain. regularly reaches
90 OF (32 O C) or higher.
0 When doing frequent trailer towing.
0 Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require change
until the message CHANGE
TRANS FLUID appears on
the Driver Information Center.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may
choose to have this done
at your Cadillac dealership
Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions
here, or you could get a false reading on the dipstick.
1 NOTICE: - -1
Too much or too little fluid can damage your
transaxle.
Too much can mean that some of the
fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be sure to
get an accurate reading if you check your
transaxle fluid.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transaxle
fluid level if you have been driving:
When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C).
At high speed for quite a while.
In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
0 While pulling a trailer.
