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.

Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds or
so. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come
on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon
as
possible and turn the key off. Then start the engine to reset the system. If
the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your
Cadillac needs service. Unless the regular brake system warning light is
also
on, you will still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, see “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with
a full-size

It’s the amount
of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person
drank three double martinis
(3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an
hour, the person’s BAC would be close to 0.12 percent.
A person who
consumes food just before or during drinking will have a slightly lower

The law in most US. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent.
In Canada the limit
is 0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower
than that. The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in
one hour).
Of course, as we’ve seen, it depends on how much alcohol is in
the drinks, and how quickly the person drinks them.
But it’s
very important to keep in mind that the ability to drive .is affected
well below a BAC of
0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills
of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0.05 percent, and
that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels
above
0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in an accident
increases sharply
for drivers who have a BAC of 0.05 percent or above. A
driver with a BAC level of
0.06 percent (three beers in one hour for a
180-pound or 82 kg person) has doubled his or her chance of having an
