oil and add as needed.
CHANGE OIL SOON

reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the index on how to reset it.

Climate Control system and stop and allow your vehicle to idle until

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Maintenance when Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer.
See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are
especially important
in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid
(don’t overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belts, cooling system, and brake
adjustment. Each
of these is covered in this manual, and the Index will
help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review
these sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.

Operating the engine with the air cleaner off can cause you or
others
to be burned. The air cleaner not only cleans the air, it
stops flame if the engine backfires.

with it off,
and be careful working on the engine with the air cleaner off.

fire, And, dirt can easily get into your engine, which will drmagc
it, Always have the air cleaner io place when you’rt ddvlng.
AUTOMTIC TRANSAXLE FLUID

A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your
fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can
be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done at a Cadillac dealership Service
Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.

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.
