ENGINE COOLANT 7
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when (. I
it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac will:
0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37OC) .
0 Give boiling protection up to 262 F (128 C) .
0 Prote-ct against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning-lights work as they shoula.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use
a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification
1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.

Some driving cond.itions or climates may cause a brakesqueal when the
brakes are..first applied
or lightly applied. This does-not-mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal,height, or if
these is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could
be a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for
wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier s.top, then your brakes
might not adjust correctly.
If you drive in that way; then -- very carefully,--
make a
few moderate brake stops about every 1000 miles (1600 km), so
your brakes will adjust prsperly.
Replacing Brake System. Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have
to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles
we design and test have top-quality GM brake
parts in them, as your Cadillac does when it
is new. When you replace
parts of your braking system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have to have new ones put
in -- be sure you get new
genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer
work properly. For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance-.between your front and rear brakes
can change, for the worse. The. braking performance you’ve come to
expect can change in many other ways itsomeone puts in the wrong
replacement
brake parts.
