vehicle’s deceleration, of which vehicle damage is only one indication.
Repair cost is not a good indicator of whether an air bag should have

_I What makes an air bag inflate?
In a frontal or near-frontal impact of sufficient severity, sensors
- strategically located on the vehicle detect that the vehicle is suddenly
stopping as a result of a crash. These sensors complete an electrical
circuit, triggering a chemical reaction of the sodium azide sealed in the
inflator. The reaction produces nitrogen gas, which inflates a cloth bag.
The inflator, cloth bag, and related hardware are all part of the air bag
inflator modules packed inside the steering wheel and in the instrument
panel in front
of the passenger.
How does an air bag restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions, even belted
occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. The air
bag supplements the protection provided by safety belts. Air bags
distribute the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper
body, stopping the occupant more gradually. But air bags would not
provide protection in many types of collisions, including rollovers and
rear and side impacts, primarily because an occupant’s motion is not
toward the air bag. Air bags should never be regarded as anything more
and near-frontal collisions.
What will you see after an air bag inflation?

After the air bag has inflated, it will then quickly deflate. This occurs
so
quickly that some people may not even realize that the air bag inflated.
The air bag will
not impede the driver’s vision or ability to steer the
vehicle, nor will it hinder the occupants from exiting the vehicle. There
will be small amounts of smoke coming from vents in the deflated air
bags. Some components of the air bag module in the steering wheel hub
may be hot for a short time, but the portion of the bag that comes into
contact with you will not be hot to the touch. The nitrogen gas used to
inflate the ‘air bag will have vented into the passenger compartment, and
the bag will be deflated within seconds after the collision. Nitrogen makes
up about
80% of the air we breathe and is not hazardous. As the nitrogen

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine REPLACING BRAKE SYSTEM PARTS
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What You’ll find in the Index:
+ A list of all PSPs published by Cadillac in a model year (1990 or later). PSPs
covering all models of Cadillac cars are listed in the same index.
+ Ordering information so you can buy the specific PSPs you may want.
+ Price information for PSPs you may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most of the PSPs which could potentially apply to
the most recent Cadillac models will by listed in the last qu\
arterly publication for that
model year. This means you may want
to wait until the end of the model year before
ordering an index, if you are interested in buying
PSPs pertaining to a current model year
vehicle.
Some
PSPs pertaining to a particular model year vehicle may be published on later
years, and these would
be listed in the later year’s index. When you order an index for a
model year that is not over yet, we’ll send you the most \
recently published quarterly
issue.
You can specify an index for an earlier model year, but not befor\
e 1990.
Cut out the order form, fill it out, and mail it. We will see
to it that an index is mailed to
you. There is no charge for indexes for the 1990-1993 model years.
Toll-Free Telephone Number
If you want an additional ordering form for an index or a subscr\
iption, just call toll-free
and we’ll
be happy to send you one. Automated recording equipment will take \
your
name and mailing address. The number to call is 1-800-5514123.
Copies at Participating Dealers
Copies of Indexes and individual PSPs are at your Cadillac dealership. You can ask to
see them.
A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER: These PSPs are meant for technicians. They are
not meant for the ‘do-it-yourselfer’. Technicians have the \
equipment, tools, safety
