Here’s  how your  light systems  work: 
Headlight  “On” Warning 
If the  manual  light switch  is  left on (as  when  someone  has parked  your 
car),  you’ll  hear  a  warning  tone when  you  turn 
off the ignition  and  open 
the driver’s door. - 
Power Drain Protection 
*- 
When  the  ignition is  off and  the  interior  lights or underhood light are 
accidentally  left  on,  they will automatically  shut  off after  after 
10 minutes. 
This  protects  you from  a  possible  dead  battery.  To turn  power  back on, 
lift  up  on  the outside  door  handle  or turn  the ignition  to  the 
RUN 
position.

This section describes  the warning lights  that  are  on your vehicle.  The 
pictures  will help  you locate  them. 
Warning  lights can signal  that something  is wrong  before  it  becomes 
serious  enough  to cause  an  expensive  repair or replacement.  Paying 
attention  to  your warning lights could also  save  you or  others  from injury. 
Warning  lights go  on when  there may be  or  is  a problem  with one of your 
vehicle’s  functions. 
As you  will see in the  details  on  the next  few  pages, 
some  warning lights  come on briefly  when you turn  the  ignition key just 
to 
let you  know  they’re working. If you are familiar  with this section,  you 
should  not 
be alarmed  when this  happens. 
When  one 
of the warning lights comes on and  stays on when  you are 
driving,  check  the section  that tells  you what  to  do  about  it. Please  follow 
the  manual’s advice.  Waiting to  do repairs  can be costly 
-- and  even 
dangerous. 
So please  get to know  your warning  lights. They’re  a  big help. 
Brake  System  Warning  Light 
Your  Cadillac’s  hydraulic  brake system  is  divided  into two parts. If one 
part  isn’t  working,  the  other  part  can  still  work and  stop you. For good 
braking,  though, you need  both  parts  working  well. 
If the warning  light 
goes  on,  there  could be 
a  brake  problem.  Have 
your  brake  system 
inspected right  away.

I_ This light should  come on  as you start  the  vehicle. If it doesn’t  come on 
then,  have it fixed 
so it will  be ready  to warn  you if there’s a problem.   

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine time  and flash your brake  lights  (in  addition to your  turn signal)  as extra 
warning  that you are  about  to  slow  down and exit. 
The  exit ramp  can be curved, sometimes  quite sharply. 
-. 
U t I! The exit speed  is  usually  posted.  Reduce  your speed according  to your 
speedometer,  not  to  your sense 
of motion. After driving  for any  distance 
at  higher speeds,  you  may tend  to think you are going  slower  than you 
actually  are. For example, 
40 mph (65 h/h)  might seem like  only 20 mph c_? 
(30 km/h).  Obviously,  this could lead  to serious  trouble  on  a ramp 
designed  for 
20 mph (30 kmih)!

DRIVTNG  A  LONG DISTANCE 
Although  most long trips today  are  made  on  freeways, there  are still 
many  made  on  regular highways. 
Long-distance  driving on freeways  and regular  highways  is  the  same in 
some  ways.  The trip has 
to be  planned  and  the vehicle  prepared,  you 
drive  at higher-than-city  speeds,  and there  are longer turns behind  the 
wheel.  You’ll  enjoy  your trip  more  if you  and your  vehicle  are in good 
shape.  Here  are  some tips for a successful  long  trip. 
BEFORE LEAWNG  ONA LONG  TRlP 
Make  sure you’re  ready. Try to  be  well rested. If you  must  start when 
you’re  not  fresh 
-- such  as  after a day’s  work -- don’t plan  to make  too 
many  miles  that first part  of the  journey.  Wear comfortable clothing  and 
shoes  you can easily  drive  in.

Is your  vehicle  ready  for a long  trip? If you keep  it serviced  and 
maintained,  it’s  ready to 
go. If it needs  service,  have  it  done  before 
starting  out. Of course,  you’ll find experienced  and  able service experts  in 
Cadillac dealerships  all  across North America.  They’ll be ready  and

willing  to help if you  need  it. -1 
Here  are  some things  you  can check  before  a trip: 
Windshield  Washer  Fluid: Is the  reservoir  full? Are all  windows  clean 
inside  and  outside? 
Wiper  Blades: Are they in  good  shape? 
0 Fuel, Engine  Oil, Other  Fluids:  Have you  checked  all  levels?

- Your hazard  warning  flashers  let  you warn  others.  They  also  let  police 
know  you  have a problem.  Your front  and  rear  turn  signal lights  will  flash 
on  and 
off. 
Press  the  button  in to 
make your front  and 
rear  turn  signal  lights 
flash  on  and 
off. 
Your  hazard  warning  flashers work no  matter  what  position  your key  is  in, 
and  even  if the  key  isn’t  in.

draining,  add 
4 ounces (1 18 ml) of Limited-Slip  Differential  Lubricant

0 Protect against rust  and  corrosion. 
__ 0 Help  keep  the  proper  engine  temperature. 
Let the warning lights  work as they should.
