Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine STS recommended tire size is:
GA Performance Blackwall (P225/60ZR 16)
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended
in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index.
FRONT Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that
all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque’’ in the
Index.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type (P Metric) tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements
in addition to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire
life and best overall performance.
In most cases,
you will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be rebalanced.
meel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be
replaced. If the wheel leaks air out, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer if any
of these conditions exist.
Your dealer
will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace
them only with new
GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure
to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your Ca\
dillac model.
A CAUTION
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts \
on your vehicle can be dangerous. It could affect the
braking
and handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose air and make
you lose control. You could have a collision in which you or
others could be injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel
nuts for replacement.

The engine is a 4.6 liter (279 cu.in.) 90' V-8 featuring Dual Overhead
Cam (DOHC),
32 valve, and sequential port fuel injection. This design
results in a powerful, refined engine which is well suited to even the most
demanding driving conditions.
Engine weight is minimized
by the use of low mass alloy materials. The
crankcase, cylinder heads and oil pan are made from cast aluminum. The
induction system housing, cam covers and
oil filter adapter are cast
magnesium. The reduced engine mass enhances vehicle handling and
responsiveness.

absorbers and struts,
in response to various road and driving conditions.
The systems are capable of
making these damping changes extremely fast.
A computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration sensors, whee\
l to
body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor,
lift and dive signals. This
computer evaluates the inputs from these sensors, to control the damping
of each of the struts and shocks independently to provide varied levels of
suspension control.
The system also has the capability of providing Speed Sensitive Ste\

vehicle
speed.
Speed Sensitive Steering
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at
a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased to provide a manual like steering feel for
maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability.

What If Your Cadillac Cannot Be Repaired at hadside?
When you call the Roadside Operation Center, the advisor will determine if
your car can be repaired at roadside within a reasonable period of time
(approximately 45 minutes). If your car can’t be rep,aired within that time or
requires the resources of a Cadillac dealership service facility, the advisor
will arrange tow service for you. Towing may also
be necessary after the
technician has attempted a repair, but determines that your car cannot be
repaired at roadside.
If arrangements for towing are made by an advisor from the Cadillac
Roadside Operations Center,
it is for the convenience of the owner and
Cadillac is not responsible for the tow company. During the first
12 month/12,000 mile period towing services are covered for any disable-
ment. Beyond this period, if the repair is covered under the applicable
General Motors New Car Limited Warranty, the towing expense
will be
eligible for reimbursement by the servicing Cadillac dealership.
