This light tclls you if
there could be a
problem with your
engine
oil pressure.
The light goes on when you turn your key to “Run” or “Start.” It goes off
once you start your engine. That’s just
a check to be sure the light works.
If it doesn’t, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When the light comes
on and stays on, it means oil isn’t going through
your engine properly. You could be low on oil, or you might have some
other
oil problem.
I ~~~ I
A CA, TIO, 4:
Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your
engine can become
so hot that it catches fire. You or others
could be burned. Check your
oil as soon as possible and have
vour vehicle serviced.

If this message appears while the engine is running, stop the engine and
do not operate it until the cause of low oil pressure is corrected. Severe
damage to the engine can result.
SERVICE SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT
If this message appears, there is a problem with your Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (Air Bag) system. Let only a qualified technician
work on your vehicle. See your Cadillac dealer for service at once.
THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM/CAR MAY NOT RESTART
This message means there is atroblem in the Personalized Automotive
Security System (PASS Key
I1 ). PASS Key I1 TM will prevent the vehicle
from restarting if it is turned off,
so you should take the vehicle to a
proper service center before turning the engine off. Never leave an
unattended vehicle with the engine running. Once you are where you can
get service, turn the engine
off and then try to restart it. If the vehicle
does not restart, the PASS Key
I1 TM system will need servicing.
TRACTION ACTIVE
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control, this message will be
displayed if Traction Control is being used to reduce wheel slippage.
TRACTION DISABLED
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control, this message will be
displayed if
a problem is noted in the Traction Control System. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
TRANS FLUID RESET (Northstar Only)
With the engine not running and the ignition ON, press and hold the
OFF and REAR DEFOG buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET
message appears in the Information Center (between 5 and 20 seconds).
TRANS OVERHEATED (Northstar Only)
This message indicates that your transaxle is running too hot. You should
stop and turn your engine
off as soon as possible. Let the engine and
transaxle cool and have the problem corrected. Severe transaxle damage
can result from an overheated transaxle

USING SOLVENT-TYPE CLEANER ON
FMRIC
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean
off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use it, then:
0 Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull
knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start
at the outside of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing to
a clean
section
of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an
air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp
to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See
the previous

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Northstar engine is designed to require less maintenance than many
other
DOHC V-8 engines. Engine systems are designed to remind the
driver when service is required. An oil life index indicator monitors
ongoing operating conditions and reminds the driver when
an oil change
is needed. A low coolant warning message keeps track
of the level of this
vital fluid. Direct acting hydraulic tappets provide maintenance free zero
lash operation
of the 32 valves from idle to the 6500 rpm redline. The
camshafts are driven by a
two stage roller chain assembly which is
designed to provide quiet maintenance free operation. Platinum tipped
spark plugs increase the replacement interval to
100,000 miles.
The four valve per cylinder design provides more
efficient engine
breathing which results
in higher power than comparable two valve
engines. The central location
of each spark plug ensures a fast and
complete burning
of the fuel/air mixture. The induction system uses
smooth thermoplastic tubes to channel air into the cylinders. The
smoothness
of the tubes is equivalent to the elaborate port polishing
methods used for race car engines. Careful design using the shape and
length
of the tubes boosts horsepower by using sonic pressure waves
created by the motion
of the inlet valves to increase the amount of air
entering each cylinder.
The Northstar engine
is also designed to be very durable. The aluminum
block has cast-in-place iron cylinder liners for greater wear resistance.
High strength forged steel connecting rods support the free floating \
piston pins
in bronze bushings for superior high speed performance. The
fillits
of the nodular iron crankshaft undergo a high pressure compression
rolling operation to improve their resistance to fatigue.
Quiet operation
is enhanced by the use of special materials and designs.
The front cover of the engine is stamped from laminated steel which
damps
out noise. Special cam cover gasket seals isolate valve train
operation. The
fuel injectors are placed inside the induction system
housing
to eliminate the clicking noise which is common to other fuel
injected engines.
The Northstar engine is designed
to provide years of efficient, reliable,
satisfying operation. We think
it is also just plain fun to drive.
