Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine - Convex Outside Mirror
Your right side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s
seat. _1
- 1 A CAUTION:
If you aren’t used to a convex mirror, you can hit another
vehicle.
A convex mirror can make things (like other vehicles)
look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the right lane, you could hit
a vehicle on your right. Check
your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.

To use one, turn the
sunshade down. Then

the mirror. The switch

This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just
to
let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not
be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light
goes on, there could be
a brake problem. Have
your brake system
inspected right away.

I_ This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

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
