1993 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD check engine light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine - TO JUMP START YOUR CDILLAC:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative
ground system.
- 2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be
sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause
a ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start
your Cadillac, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.

A CAUTION:
I You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set the parking brake
firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transmission in
“P”
(Park) or a manual transmission in “N” ‘Ye1 ’ ,alj.
I -
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren’t
needed, and radios. This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries. And it could save your radio!

and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.
I
I A CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this, and some have been blinded.
Use
a flashlight if you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You don’t need to add
water to the Delco Freedom@ battery installed in every new
GM
vehicle. But if a battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount
of fluid is there.
If it is low, add water to take care of that first. If
you don’t, explosive gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you. Don’t get it on
you.
If you accidentally get it in your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get medical help immediately.

5. Check that the jumper cables don’t have loose or missing insulation. If
they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are
some basic things you should
know. Positive
(+) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to
negative
(-) or a metal engine part. Don’t connect (+) to (-) or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too.

COMPACT SPARE TIRE
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It
should be
60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000 -
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire i* u
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your I
spare with a full-size tire as soon as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when
you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.

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

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.
