1993 CADILLAC DEVILLE warning

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine c-
A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol and it will burn if the engine
parts are hot enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.
I
When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at or above near “FULL
COLD,” start your vehicle.
If the overheat warning continues, there’s one more thing you can try.
You can add the proper coolant mix directly to the radiator, but be sure
the cooling system is cool before you do it.

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to
a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
A CAUTION:
Changing a tire can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the
jack and roll over you or other people. You and they could be
badly injured. Find a level place to change your tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
0 Put the shift lever in “P” (Park).
0 Set the parking brake firmly.
0 Turn off the engine.
To be even more sure the vehicle won’t move, you can put chocks
at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the other side of the vehicle,
at the opposite end.
I
The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and change a tire.

The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is
low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac will:
0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C) .
0 Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128” C) .
0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0 Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use:
Use a mixture
of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets “GM Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts.
You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use these, you don’t need to add anything else.
A CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water,
or some other liquid like alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mix
will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mix. With plain
water or the wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you
wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and
you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mix of clean
Waf--- and
a proper anti” e. .-

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out
of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake
system fixed, since a leak means that sooner
or later your brakes won’t
work well, or won’t work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off” your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak.
If you add fluid when
your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new
brake linings.
You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only
when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
I
I A= CAUTION
I
I only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
If you have too much brake fluid, it can spill on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is hot enough. You or others could
be burned, and your vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid
U
When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will
come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid:
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. If it’s low, fill it
to the maximum “FLUID LEVEC’ indicator.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one
and a half
(1 112) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation
of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning:
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Those grades are molded on the sidewalls
of passenger car tires.

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload
will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
r
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc.,
be sure to get it fixed.
I_
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
-
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
