1993 CADILLAC SEVILLE instrument panel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances,
you will eliminate a lot
of unnecessary braking. That means better
braking and longer brake
life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake normally but
don’t pump your brakes. If you do,
the pedal may get harder to push
down.
If your engine stops, you will still have some power brake assist.
But you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is used up, it
may take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent skidding.
This light on the
instrument panel
will
go on when you start
your vehicle.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about
5 mph (8 krnh), you may hear a
momentary motor
or clicking noise and you may even notice that your
brake pedal moves a little
while this is going on. This is the ABS system
testing itself. If there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake system, the
anti-lock brake system warning light
will stay on. See “Anti-lock Brake
System Warning Light” in the Index.

Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
And, because you’re
a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer to the
left, just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making Turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or
other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal
well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring.
The green arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up, the
trailer lights will dso flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,

You will find the warning light about a hot engine on your Cadillac
instrument panel (Export
Only).
The driver information will display either “ENGINE COOLANT HOT
IDLE ENGINE” or “STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATING.”
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine:
A CAUTION
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you badly, even if
you just open the hood. Stay
away from the engine if you see or
hear steam coming from it. Just turn it off and get everyone
away from the vehicle until
it cools down. Wait until there is no
sign of steam or coolant before opening the hood.
If you keep driving when your engine is overheated, the liquids
in it can catch fire. You or others could be badly burned. Stop
your engine
if it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the
engine
is cool.

Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it
more than once.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and solvent-type vinyl/leather cleaner.
CLEANING THE TOP OF THE
INSTRUMENT PmEL
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument
panel. Sprays containing silicones
or waxes may cause annoying
reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the
windshield under certain conditions.
Care of Wood Panels
Use a clean cloth moistened in warm soapy water (use mild dish
washing soap).
Dry the wood immediately with a clean cloth.
Wood surfaces can be polished using ordinary household furniture
polishes. Apply the
polish to a clean cloth, then rub the cloth on the
wood panel.
CARE OF SAFETYBELTS
Keep belts clean and dry.
A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may severely
weaken them.
In a crash they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.
