i --
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of
I
too much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “”Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
0 Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should
be checked when your tires
are cold.
I
I Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by
a sudden impact, such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recornmended pressure.
@ Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.
Inflation - Tire Pressure _c
The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on the driver’s door

Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
BULB CUT
You can get these from your Cadillac dealer.
