If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and
construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
A CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control, while driving. If you
mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted
tires), the vehicle may not handle properly, and you could have a
crash.
Be sure to use the same size and type tires on all wheels.
It's all right to drive with your compact spare, though. It was
developed for limited use
on your vehicle.

Ungorm Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United'
States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires
I
by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only
to vehicles sold in the United States.)
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one
and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Traction -A, B, C !
-and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. I I
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt

- UNDERBODYMMNTENAIVCE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
- the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
- At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
'water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being
__ flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for you.

Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.

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 -
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.
