1993 CADILLAC SEVILLE brake

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This rich tradition continues
into the '90s as Cadillac became the
first automobile manufacturer
to be
awarded the prestigious Malcolm
Baldrige National
Quality Award.
The 1992 Seville STS is the first
car ever to win all three major auto-
motive awards: Car
of the Year,
Motor Trend; Ten Best List, Car
&
Driver; Car of the Year, Automobile
Magazine.
A 1993 Cadillac Allant6 in stock
technical configuration, was selected
as the pace car for the 76th Indianap-
olis
500. The demanding pace car
performance and handling require-
ments were met because
of such
advanced systems as the
32 valve,
dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
4.6 liter V8 engine, 4t80 E electroni-
cally controlled automatic transaxle,
road sensing suspension, speed sen-
sitive steering, antilock brakes and
traction control.

than nine decades
Cadillac has been a leader in quality
and technical innovation.

than ever, substance takes shape

Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you
have to, If yuu have left the engine running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won’t ~tlove, when you’re an fairly level ground, always
set your parking brake and move the shift lever to ‘&P*’ (Park).
See (‘ Shifting Into T9’ (Park)” in the Index. If you arc parking
on a hill, or if you’re pulling a trailer, also see Varking on
Wills” or “‘l’oning 8 Railer” in the Index.
I
Ensure the shift lever is fully in “P” (Park) range before starting the
engine. Your Cadillac has
a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to
fully your regular brakes before you can shift from “P” (Park)
when
the ignition key is in the “Run” position. If you cannot shift out of “P”
(Park), ease pressure on the shift lever
- push the shift lever all the way
into “P” (Park) and also release the shift lever button
on floor shift
console models
as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift
lever into the gear you wish. (Press the shift lever button before moving
the shift lever on floor shift console models.) See “Shifting Out
of ‘P’
(Park)” in this section.
R (Reverse)
Use this gear to back up.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out
of snow, ice or sand
without damaging your transaxle, see “If You’re Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice
or
Snow” in the Index.

In this position, your engine doesn’t connect with the wheels. To
restart when you’re already moving, use “N” (Neutral) only. Also, use
“N” when your vehicle is being towed.
I
A CAUTION=
Shifting out of“P’’ (Park) or “N” (Neutral) while your engine is
‘kacing” (running at high speed) is dangerous. Unless your foot
is firmly on the brake pedal, your vehicle could move very
rapidly. You could Iosc control and hit people or objects. Don’t
shift out of T’ (Park) or “N” (Neutral) whiic your engine is
racing.

3 (Third Gear)
This is like
@ but you never go into Overdrive.
Here are some times
you might choose “ 3 ” instead of @:
- When driving on hilly, winding roads
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears
- When going down a steep hill
2 (Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can
use “2” on hills. It can help control your speed as you go dawn steep
mountain roads, but then
you would ako’want to use your brakes off
and on.
