words work together to explain things quickly.
INDEX A good place to look for what you need is the Index in back of
the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of all that’s in the manual, and the
page number where you’ll find it.

Also, in this book you will find these blue notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there 3s sometiring that could damage your vehicle.
In the blue notice area, we tell you about something that can damage
your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered
by your
warranty, and
it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to do to
help avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings
in different colors or in different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors that Cadillac has used for years.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same colors,
and the
words CAUTION or NOTICE.

This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won‘t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive, This might
happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against a solid object. You couid damage your fmnmxle,
ASss, If you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Odometer
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one may read the correct mileage. This
is because your
car’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory. If it isn’t stored, then
this odometer
is set at zero, but a label on the driver’s door must show the
old reading and when the new one was installed.
WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that may De on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before
it becomes
serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you
or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you
know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system that works along
with.
. the ,. warning lights. See “Driver Information System” in the Index.
