To Resume a Set Speed 
Suppose  you set your Cruise  Control  at  a  desired speed  and  then  you 
apply  the  brake.  This, of course,  shuts 
off the  Cruise  Control.  But you 
don’t  need to reset  it.  Once  you’re going  about 
25 mph (40 kmih) or 
more,  you can move  the Cruise  Control  switch from 
“ON” to “./A” 
(ResumeiAccelerate) for about half a second.

Speedometer  and Qdometer 
Your  speedometer  lets you  see your  speed  in both  miles  per hour  (mph) 
and  kilometers  per hour  (kmih).  Your odometer  shows  how  far your

U.S.) or  kilometers 
(used 
in Canada).

ODOMETER 
Your  Cadillac Brougham has a  “tamper-resistant  odometer.”  If your 
odometer  displays 
ERROR, someone has tampered  with it. 
You  may  wonder what happens  if a car  has  to have  a new  odometer 
installed.  The new speedometer  has to be  programmed  with the correct 
mileage  as the  old one. 
If it can’t  be, then  it  is set at zero,  but  a label  on 
the  driver’s  door must  show  the old  reading  and when  the new  one was 
installed.

even  say to change  it before 
3000 miles  under  severe  conditions. It all 
depends  on  your  driving patterns.  (If  it doesn’t,  or 
if it doesn’t  even  light 
up,  then  something  is wrong. 
You will  need  to  have it serviced.) 
There  are 
two things  the system  won’t  do: It can’t  sense  heavy  dust in the 
places  where  you drive. 
If you drive  in a dusty  area, you should  change 
your  oil  every 
3000 miles (5000 krn) or 3 months  (whichever  comes  first), 
unless  the 
“CHANGE OIL? light comes  on  sooner. 
It  doesn’t  check how much  oil  you  have 
so you will still have  to check  for 
that. 
To check  it,  see  the Index  under  “Engine  Oil.” 
When You’ve Changed the Oil 
When new  oil  is  put in,  you’ll  need  to  reset  your  system. To do  that,  turn 
the  ignition  switch to the 
“ON” position  with the engine  stopped.  Fully 
depress  and  release  the  accelerator  pedal 
3 times  within 5 seconds. 
If  the  “CHANGE  OK’ light comes  on  and stays on  for 
5 seconds,  it did 
not  reset.  You’ll need  to  reset  the  system again.

you  have  to park  outside  in 
very cold weather, 0°F (-18OC) or colder.  If 
your vehicle  has  this  option,  see  “Engine  Block Heater” 
in the Index. 
How 
To Reset  the Oil Life  Indicator:  After the oil has  been  changed, 
you’ll  need  to  reset your  system. 
To do  that,  turn  the  ignition switch to  the 
“ON” position  with the engine  stopped  fully depress  and  release the 
accelerator  pedal 
3 times  within 5 seconds. 
If the “CHANGE OIC‘ light comes on  and stays  on for 5 seconds,  it did 
not  reset.  You’ll need  to  reset  the  system again. 
What  to 
Do with  Used  Oil: 
A CAUTION: 
Used  engine  oil contains  things  that  have caused  skin  cancer  in 
laboratory  animals.  Don’t let used oil stay  on your  skin  for  very 
long.  Clean  your  skin  and  nails with soap  and  water, or a good 
hand  cleaner.  Wash  or properly  throw away clothing  or  rags 
containing  used engine  oil. 
Used  oil can  be  a  real  threat to  the  environment.  If  you change  your  own 
oil,  be  sure  to  drain  all free-flowing oil  from  the  filter  before  disposal. 
- 
Don’t ever  dispose  of oil  by pouring it on  the  ground,  into  sewers, or  into 
streams  or  bodies  of water.  Instead,  recycle  it by taking 
it to a  place  that 
collects used  oil. If you  have  a  problem  properly  disposing of your used 
oil,  ask your  dealer,  a  service station  or 
a local recycling  center  for  help.
