Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Service Engine Soon
Light)
A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition and emission
control systems. This light should come
on when the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running, as a check
to show you it is working. If it does
not come
on at all, have it fixed right away. If it stays on, or it comes on
while you are driving, the computer is indicating that you have a problem.
You should take your vehicle in for service soon.
~~
NOTICE:
If you keep driv
the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy
won’t be as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs not covered
by your warranty.

Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Your Cadillac has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
-- Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound may come and go or be heard all the time your vehicle is
.. - moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).
I
A CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound means that sooner or later your
brakes won’t work well. That could lead to an accident. When
you hear the brake wear warning sound, have your vehicle
serviced. I

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine Block Heater Option: An engine block heater can be a big help if
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When It’s Time for New Tires
You need a new tire if One
way to tell when
it’s time for new tires
is to check the
treadwear indicators,
which will appear
when your tires have
only
2/32 inch (1.6
mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You can see the indicators at three places around the tire.
0 You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired
well because of the size or location of the damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s
sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are
designed
to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride
and other things during normal service on your vehicle.
If your tires have
an all-season tread design, the
TPC number will be followed by a “MS”
(for mud and snow).
