Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Servicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System 
Please tell or  remind  anyone  who works  on your  Cadillac  that it has  the 
air  bag  system.  There  are  parts of the  air  bag  system  in  several places 
around  your vehicle.  You don’t  want  the system  to inflate  while someone 
is working  on your vehicle.  The air  bag  system does  not  need  regular 
maintenance.  Your Cadillac  dealer  and  the 
1993 Cadillac Service Manual 
have  information  about  the air bag  system, including  repair  or disposal.

A CAUTION: I 
I For up to 2 minutes  after the ignition  key is turned off and  the 
battery  disconnected,  an  air bag can still  inflate  during 
improper  service.  You can be injured  if  you  are  close to an  air 
bag  when  it  inflates. Be sure to  follow  the  proper  service 
procedures. 
I 
When  electrical  work is done  under  the  hood  or  inside your vehicle, the 
ignition  should  be  in “Lock” 
if possible.  Avoid wires wrapped  with  yellow 
tape,  or  yellow connectors.  They  are probably  part  of the  air  bag system. 
Your  vehicle  has  a driver’s  air bag  and  a  right front  passenger’s air  bag. 
Both  air  bags must  be disconnected 
if the  ignition  has to  be on for 
electrical work  or if the  steering  column is to  be  disassembled. 
Disconnect  both  air  bags like this: 
Turn  off the  ignition. 
Remove  the  SIR (air  bag)  fuse  (see  “Fuses  and  Circuit Breakers” in

Index). 
When  the  work 
is complete, if the air bag  system was disconnected,  be 
sure  to  reattach  everything and  replace  the  fuse  before  turning  the 
ignition 
on. When  you turn  the ignition  key on, be sure  you see  the 
inflatable  restraint  light on  the  instrument  panel.  If  you don’t see this 
light flash  and  then go out  as usual, have your  air  bag system repaired.

instrument  panel  will 
flash  in the  direction  of 
the  turn  or  lane 
change. 
If the  turn  signal remains  on  after you  have  driven about .5 mile (.8 km), 
a  reminder  chime will sound  until you turn  the  turn  signal off. 
To signal  a lane  change,  just  raise or lower  the lever until  the  green arrow 
starts  to  flash. Hold it there  until you complete  your lane  change.  The 
lever  will return  by itself  when  you release  it. 
AS you signal  a  turn  or  a  lane  change, if the  arrows don’t flash  but  just 
stay  on, a signal bulb  may be  burned  out  and  other  drivers won’t see your 
turn  signal. 
If a bulb  is burned  out,  replace  it to  help  avoid  an accident. If the  green 
arrows don’t go  on at all  when  you signal  a  turn,  check the fuse  (see 
“Fuses”  in the  Index)  and  for  burned-out  bulbs. 
If  you  have  a  trailer  towing option with added  wiring  for  the  trailer lights, 
a  different  turn signal  flasher  is used. With this  flasher installed,  the 
signal  indicator  will flash even  if a  turn  signal bulb  is burned  out.  Check 
the  front  and  rear  turn  signal lights regularly to make  sure they  are 
working. 
Operation of Lights 
Although  your vehicle’s  lighting system (headlights, parking lights, side 
marker  lights and taillights)  meet all applicable  federal lighting 
requirements,  certain  states  and  provinces may apply  their own lighting 
regulations  that may  require  special attention  before  you operate  these 
lights. For example,  some jurisdictions  may require  that  headlights be 
turned  on  whenever you must use your windshield wipers.  In  addition,

You can be injured  if  you try to  do  service work  on a vehicle

0 Be sure  you have sufficient  knowledge, experience,  and  the 
proper  replacement  parts  and tools before  you attempt  any 
vehicle  maintenance  task. 
0 Be sure  to use  the  proper  nuts,  bolts and  other  fasteners.

FUEL 
Use  regular  unleaded  gasoline rated  at 87 octane or higher.  It should 
meet  specifications 
ASTM D4814 in the  U.S.  and CGSB 3.5-92 in 
Canada.  These  fuels should  have the  proper  additives, 
so you should  not 
have  to add  anything  to  the fuel. 
1 the U.S.  and  Canada,  it’s  easy to  be  sure  you get the  right  kind of 
gasoline  (unleaded).  You’ll see 
“UNLEADED” right on  the  pump.  And 
only  unleaded  nozzles will fit into  your  vehicle’s  filler neck. 
Be  sure  the  posted  octane  is at  least 
87. If the  octane  is less  than 87, you 
may  get a heavy  knocking  noise when  you  drive. If  it’s bad  enough,  it can 
damage  your  engine. 
If  you’re  using  fuel rated  at 
87 octane  or higher  and you  still  hear heavy 
knocking,  your  engine  needs service. But don’t  worry  if you  hear  a  little 
pinging  noise when  you’re  accelerating 
or driving up a hill. That’s  normal,   

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ,- FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS 
The wiring  circuits  in  your vehicle  are protected  from  short  circuits by a 
combination 
of Mini  Fuses,  Circuit  Breakers,  and Maxi  Fuses. This 
greatly  reduces  the chance  of fires caused  by electrical problems. 
If you  ever  have  a problem  on  the  road  and  don’t have a spare  fuse, you 
can  “borrow”  one 
of the correct  value. Select a  feature  that  you can get 
along without  that is the  same  value  you  need 
-- like the radio or cigarette 
lighter 
-- and  use its fuse.  Be  sure  to use a fuse with  the same  amperage 
rating  number  on  it (ie. 
lOA, 20A, etc.).  Replace  it as  soon  as you  can.
