Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently, and that
can cause very bad injuries. Don't smoke if you're near gasoline
pr refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames, and smoking
;materials away from gasoline.

A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you
could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out
on you if you
open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if
your tank is nearly full, and
is more likely in hot weather. Open
the fuel filler cap slowly and wait for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Then unscrew tht ap all the
1 y.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until you hear a
clicking noise.

ENGINE OIL
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading, the
oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on
level ground.

DO NOT USE SAE 1OW-40 GRADE OIL OR ANY OTHER GRADE NOT RECOMMENDED
SAE 1OW-30
As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE low-30 is best for your vehicle.
However, you can use
SAE 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than 60°F
(16"
C) before your next oil change. When it's very cold, below 0°F
(-18OC), 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 1OW-40 or SAE 20W-50.

GM Goodwrench@ oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the
requirements for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives: Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac
dealer is ready to advise
if you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil: Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
life index (EOLI) feature as part
of the Driver Information Center
display (DIC). Oil change intervals are determined by the EOLI and will
usually fall at, or between, the
two recommended alternative intervals of
3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) and 7,500 miles (12,500 kilometers), but
could be shorter than
3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) under some very
severe driving conditions shown in Schedule I. The system will also
indicate the need for an oil change if
7,500 miles (12,500 kilometers) or
one year has passed.
Engine
oil life remaining is displayed through engine data as the ‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ and as a ‘CHANGE ENGINE OIC message. The
‘OIL
LIFE INDEX’ display includes a number between 0 and 100. This is the
percentage
of oil life REMAINING based on driving conditions and
mileage driven since the last time of the oil life indicator was reset. When
the remaining oil life is less than
lo%, a ‘CHANGE OIL SOON’ message
will appear. This is a reminder to schedule an engine oil change. When
the oil life index reaches
0, the ‘CHANGE ENGINE OIC message will
appear. This indicates that no oil life remains and the oil should be
changed
as soon as possible, but certainly within the next 200 miles (320
km).
The EOLI will not detect excessively dusty conditions or engine
malfunctions which may effect the
oil. If you drive in dusty areas, change
the engine oil after every
3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) or 3 months
(whichever comes first), unless instructed to do
so sooner by the DIC.

On Northstar 4.6 Liter engine equipped vehicles a ‘CHECK OIL LEVEE
message will appear whenever the oil level’s approximately one quart low.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR
for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
185 lbs. (84 kg) in your trunk.
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVVVR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs. If
you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause
you to lose control. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.

If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material
to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. \
FOREIGNMATERIAL
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces for these
stains.
FINISH DAiUAGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
into a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas
of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
UNDERBODYMMNTENANCE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody.
If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least
every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for
you.
