mirrors are
heated.

Ekctronic Solar Sensor
The Electronic Solar Sensor is part of the Electronic Climate Control
System.
The sensor monitors
the sun's solar
radiation
by telling the
Electronic Climate
Control system at what
angle and intensity the
sun is. The Electronic
Climate Control uses
this information
to
automatically make
the necessary
temperature and
air
flow adjustments.

u
-
You can ask a hitch dealer about sway controls.
Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (800 km) your new
vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
0 Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don’t
drive over 50 mph
(80 km/h) and don’t make starts at full throttle.
This helps your engine and other parts
of your vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
When towing a trailer, close all windows and set the Electronic
Climate Control System to
“ECON”, “AUTO”, “DEFOG” or
Defroster to assure that the fan is running.
Three important considerations have to do with weight:
1. Weight of the nailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It should never weigh more than
1,000 pounds (450 kg). But even
that can be too heavy.
It depends on how
you plan to use your rig. For example, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much your
vehicle is used
to pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also
depend on any special equipment that
you have on your vehicle.
You can ask your dealer for our trailering information or advice, or
you can write us at Cadillac.
In Canada, write to General Motors of Canada Limited, Customer
Assistance Center,
1908 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, Ontario L1H
8P7.
2. Weight of the ’hailer Tongue
When a trailer is connected to your vehicle, the trailer tongue adds
to the weight your vehicle is carrying. So, remember to subtract the
weight of the trailer tongue from your vehicle’s capacity weight.

How To Reset Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator: 4.6L (Northstar)
Your vehicle is equipped with a transaxle fluid change indicator.
A
“CHANGE TRANS FLUID” message will display on the Information
Center
when the power train computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each 100,000 miles
(160,000 km) interval,
whichever occurs first. When this message appears, change the t\
ransaxle
fluid and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator
as follows:
Turn the key “ON” with the engine stopped.
Press and hold the “OFF” and “REAR DEFOG” buttons on the
climate control simultaneously
until the “TRANS FLUID RESET”
message appears
in the Information Center (between 5 and 20
seconds).
ENGINE COOLANT
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is low. If you have
a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coo’ It for
your Cadillac will:
Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37’C) .
Give boiling protection up to 262 ” F (128 ” C) .
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use:
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one\
-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to
GM
Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant c\
hange.
If you use these, you don’t need to add anything else.

If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
I
A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas that can explode.
You can be badly hurt
if you aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting”
in the Index for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over’20 minutes to
do it. If
you want to
do it yourself, here’s how:
0 Apply the parking brake.
Make sure the front wheels are straight.
0 Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
Start the engine in “P” (Park) and let it idle for 15 minutes. Then:
Put your foot on the brake pedal, shift the transaxle to @ and let it
idle for
3 minutes or more. Do not accelerate the engine. Then:
With the car in @ (Drive), turn the Electronic Climate Control to
“Auto” and let the engine
idle for 3 minutes or more.
Turn your engine off.
Now your computer
is programmed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Deadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example,
a tire graded 150 would wear one
and
a half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the
norm
due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned
to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Those grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
