How to Add Fluid:
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of

When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
Don't forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires -- which may look properly inflated even
if they're underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Your tire pressures are:
Front and rear - 30 psi (210 kPa)
Optional Limousine packages:
Front and rear - 35 psi (241 kPa)
Recommended tire size is:
0 P235/70R15 (Front and rear)
0 T145/80D 16 (Compact spare)
0 P235/75R15 XL (Coach Builder Option) d

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning: The temperature grade
for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Those grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles.
All passenger type (P Metric) tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
'Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need
to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving
on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be rebalanced.

What If Your Cadillac Cannot Be Repaired at Roadside?
When you call the Roadside Operation Center, the advisor will determine if
your car can be repaired at roadside within a reasonable period of time cc
(approximately 45 minutes). If your car can't be repaired within that time or
requires
the resources of a Cadillac dealership service facility, the advisor
will arrange tow service for you. Towing may also
be necessary after the
technician has attempted a repair, but determines that your car cannot
be -
repaired at roadside.
If arrangements
for towing are made by an advisor from the Cadillac
Roadside Operations Center,
it is for the convenience of the owner and
Cadillac
is not responsible for the tow company. During the first -
12 month/12,000 mile period towing services are covered for any disable-
ment. Beyond this period, if the repair is covered under the applicable
General Motors New Car Limited Warranty, the towing expense
will be
eligible for reimbursement by the servicing Cadillac dealership.
