Push this button to turn
on the rear defogger.
With it, your rear
window and both
outside rearview
mirrors are heated.
The system will
automatically shut off
after
10 minutes. If
further defrosting is
desired, simply push
the button again.

Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the heating grids.

You can ask a hitch dealer about sway controls.
0 Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (800 km) your new
vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don’t
drive over 50 mph (80 kmih) and don’t make starts at full throttle.
This helps your engine and other parts
of your vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
When towing a trailer, close all windows and set the Electronic
Climate Control System
to “ECON”, “AUTO”, “DEFOG” or
Defroster to assure that the fan is running.
Three important considerations have to do with weight:
1. Weight of the nailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It should never weigh more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg). But even
that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much your
vehicle
is used to pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also
depend on any special equipment that you have on your vehicle.
You can ask your dealer for our trailering information or advice, or
you can write
us at Cadillac.
In Canada, write to General Motors of Canada Limited, Customer
Assistance Center,
1908 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, Ontario L1H
8P7.
2. Weight of the Trailer Tongue
When a trailer is connected to your vehicle, the trailer tongue adds
to the weight your vehicle is carrying.
So, remember to subtract the
weight of the trailer tongue from your vehicle’s capacity weight.

other than DEXRON@-IIE is not covered by your
new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
How To Reset Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator: (4.6 Liter Northstar)
Your vehicle is equipped with
a transaxle fluid change indicator. A
“CHANGE
TRANS FLUID’’ message will display on the Information
Center when the power train computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each 100,000 miles (160,000
km) interval,
whichever occurs first. When this message appears, change the transaxle
fluid and reset
the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
the
way.
0 Turn the key “ON” with the engine stopped.
Press and hold the “OFF” and “REAR DEFOG” buttons on the
climate control simultaneously until the
“TRANS FLUID RESET”
message appears
in the Information Center (between 5 and 20
seconds).
ENGINE COOLANT
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:
Give freezing protection down to -34” F (-37” C) .
0 Give boiling protection up to 262OF (128O C) .
0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
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

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.
FYou can be badly hurt if you aren’t careful. See “Juml
*kin the Index for tips on working around a battery wit1
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over
20 minutes to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
Apply the parking brake.
Make sure the front wheels are straight.
Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
0 Start the engine in “P” (Park) and let it idle for 15 minutes. Then:
Put your foot on the brake pedal, shift the transaxle to a and let it
idle for
3 minutes or more. Do not accelerate the engine. Then:
0 With the car in a (Drive), turn the Electronic Climate Control to
“Auto” and
let the engine idle for 3 minutes or more.
Turn your engine off.

Now your computer is programmed.

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 1/2) 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.
