running. Your vehicle could move suddenly if the shift lever is
not fully in
“P” (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. And, if
you leave the vehicle with the engine running,
it could overheat
and even catch fire.
You or others could be injured. Don’t leave
your vehicle with the engine running unless you have to.
If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your
vehicle is
in “P” (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you
leave it. After you’ve moved the shift
lever into the “P” (Park) position,
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.
If you can,
it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into “P” (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” (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever --
push the shift lever all the way into “P” (Park) as you maintain brake
application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you wish.
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
2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4.
3. Shift to “N” (Neutral).

4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear you want.
5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.

for another
10 minutes, just turn the key to "RUN" and then back to

Day Time Running Lights (Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle
more visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL
are required on new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your
DRL work with a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Don’t -
cover it up.
The high beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in daylight
when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
At dusk, the
DRL will switch off and the exterior lights will come on
automatically. At dawn, the exterior lights will

Your Cadillac has a “tamper-resistant odometer.” On the analog
odometer, if
you see silver lines between the numbers, probably someone
has tried to turn it back.
The numbers may not be true. If you have the
optional digital odometer, it will say
ERROR if someone has tampered
with it.
You may wonder what happens
if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. If possible, the new one
has to be set to the same reading the
old one had.
If it can’t be, then it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s
door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
