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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine IfNo Steam Is Coming From Your Engine:
If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, the problem
may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot
when you:
Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high speed driving.
0 Idle for long periods in traffic.
0 Tow a trailer.
If you get the overheat warning with no sign
or steam, try this for a
minute or so:
1. Turn off your air conditioner.
2. Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan speed and open the
window as necessary.
3. Try to keep your engine under load (in a drive gear where the engine
runs slower).
If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes.
‘If the warning doesn’t come back on,
you can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle \
right
away.
If there’s still no sign of steam, you can idle the engine for two or three
minutes while you’re parked, to see
if the warning stops. But then, if you
still have the warning,
TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND GET
EVERYONE
OUT OF THE VEHICLE until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the
hood but to get service help right away.

I A CAUTION:
Cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others
can burst into flame
if you strike a match or get them on a hot
part
of the vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe their
fbmes in
a closed space. When you use anything in a container
to clean your Cadillac, be sure to follow the instructions. And
always open your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the
inside.
- Never use these to clean your vehicle:
Gasoline Paint Thinner
Benzene lbrpentine
Naphtha Lacquer Thinner
Carbon Tetrachloride Nail Polish- Remover
Acetone
They can
all be hazardous -- some more than others -- and they
can all damage your vehicle, too.

Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco
smoke and dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners
on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD AND
WIPER BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running,
wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner,
Bon-Ami Powders (GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in
full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked
on a regular basis and replaced when
worn.

When you stop your Cadiliac and turn the key to Off, you can use these
accessories for
10 more minutes:
Radio
Power Windows
Astroroof
Windshield Wipers
If
you open a door, everything will go off. And, after 10 minutes
everything will go
off, also.
If you want power for another
10 minutes, just turn the key to Run and
then back to Off.
FUSES AlvD CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of Mini Fuses, Circuit Breakers, and Maxi Fuses. This
greatly reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical problems.
If
you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow”
one of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along
without that is the same value
you need -- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse. Be sure to use a fuse with the same amperage
rating number on it (ie.
lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.
- There is a fuse
removal
tool and some
spare mini fuses in the
glove
box door, just lift
the cover up.

i
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to
go on and off, or in some
cases
to remain off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc.,
be sure to get it fixed.
rower Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
