cpr
when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services’’ in the
Index. -I

BeC’%’uSe this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done at a Cadillac dealership Service Department.

could get a false reading on the dipstick.

NOTICE:
I
Too much or too little fluid can damage your transmission.
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall
on hot engine parts, starting
a fire. Be sure to get an accurate
reading if you check
your transmission fluid. I
l-
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transmission fluid level if
you have been driving:
0 When outside temperatures are above 90” F (32” C).
n !‘ b
0 At high speed for quite a while.
0 In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
0 While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180°F to 200°F (82°C to 93OC).
To check transmission fluid hot: Get the vehicle warmed up by driving
about
15 miles (24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F
(10°C). If it’s colder than 50°F (lO°C), drive the vehicle in “D” (3rd
Gear) until the engine temperature gage moves and then remains steady
-
for ten minutes. Then follow the hot check procedures. t3

The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have
to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake
parts in them, as your Cadillac does when it
is new. When you replace
parts of your braking system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have to have new ones put in
-- be sure you get new
genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer
work properly. For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes
can change, for the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to
expect can change in many other ways if someone puts
in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
BATTERY
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom’ battery. You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s time for
a new battery, we
recommend a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the catalog
number shown
on the original battery’s label.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
A CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened,
can make wheel nuts become loose after a time. The wheel could
come
off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel,
remove any rust
or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, you can use
a cloth or a paper towel
to do this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get all the rust
or dirt off. (See “Changing a Flat Tire”
in the Index.)
