FUEL GAGE
fI
I
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The
17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC’ light will go on.
If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the
“LOW FUEC’ will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are
a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
gage.
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.

It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/Y, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity -
to fill it. I
The gage changes when you turn (or stop,or speed up)
OIL LIFE INDICATOR
Your Cadillac has an Oil Life Indicator feature. This tells you when you
need to change your engine
oil. It’s based upon the engine oil
temperatures and your driving patterns.

The “CHANGE OIE’ light will come on for a few seconds as a bulb check
when
you start your engine. The system probably will say to change the oil

If You’re Stuck in Deep Snow
You should turn your Traction Control System off if you’re stuck in deep
snow.
This manual explains how

damaging it. See “Rocking Your Vehicle” in the Index.
TOWING A TMLER
A CAUTION:
If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive properly, you
can lose control when you pull a trailer. For example, if the
trailer is too heavy, the brakes may not work well
-- or even at
all.
You and your passengers could be seriously injured. Pull a
trailer only if you have followed all the steps in this section.

Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result
in costly repairs not covered by your warranty.
To pull a trailer -

Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To identify what the vehicle trailering ;
capacity is for your vehicle, you should read the information in “Weight
of the Trailer” that appears later in this section. But trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, durability, and fuel economy. Successful, safe trailering takes
correct equipment, and it has to be used properly.
-
That’s the reason for this section. In it are many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules. Many of these are important for your m .> d

A CAUTION:
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently, and that
can cause very bad injuries. Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline
or if you’re refueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames, and
I
smoking materials away from gasoline.
c_ If you’re refueling your tank using a hydrocarbon recovery nozzle, the
fuel pump may shut off before the fuel capacity of your tank reaches full.
This is a normal condition. If you slow the
flow of fuel going into the
tank, it is more likely to fill to capacity without shutting off.

Locking Fuel Filler Door (Option)
m Your vehicle may have the locking fuel filler door.
The cap is behind the license plate. Pull down from the top of the license
plate bracket door to open.

locked and unlocked
every time you use the
I power door locks. If
pushing
the power lock _a
switch doesn’t unlock w
or lock the fuel filler
door, you can use the
manual lock release
lever,
in the trunk.
Move the lever to the
left to unlock the fuel
filler
door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).

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 the cap all the
way.
When you put the cap back on, turn it to rhe rlgnt untu you near a

An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even
when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.
A CAUTION:
Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.
These include liquids like oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield
washer and other fluids, and plastic or rubber.
You or others
could be burned. Be careful not to drop or spill things that will
burn onto
a hot engine.

Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly. Then
just pull the hood down and close it firmly.
ENGINE OIL
If the “Low Oil Level” light on the instrument panel comes on, it means
you need to check your engine oil level right away. You should check your
engine oil
level regularly; the light is an added reminder.
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. c1

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
200 pounds (90 kg) in your trunk .
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the

These could cause you to lose control.
Also, overloading can
