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.

. Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be
’ . dangerous. Plain water, or some-other liquid like alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant .mix ,will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning
system is set-for the proper coolant mix. With plain
water or the
wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you
.wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you
OF others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mix of clean
water and
a proper antifreeze.

If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine could overheat
and be badly damaged. Therepair cost wouldn’t be covered
by
your warranty. Too much water in the mix can freeze and crack
the engine, radiator, heater .coreand other parts.
Adding Coolant
The Coolant Recovery Tank is located on the right side of your vehicle.
To Check Coolant
When your -engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL
COLD mark or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the level
should be up to
FULL HOT mark or a little higher.
To Add Coolant

A CAUTION:
brning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator
are
hut can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and
burn you badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost
never have to add coolant
at the radiator. Never turn the
radiator
pressure cap -- even a little -- when the engine and
radiator are
hot.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.
A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spil1 coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it will burn if the engine
parts are hot
enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.

NOTICE:
Your radiator pressure cap is a 15 psi (105 ma) pressure-type
cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and
possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows
on
the cap line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filier
neck.
When you replace your radiator pressure cap, a GM cap is
recommended.

Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine
coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the
radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature.

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready to use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.

Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You never have to
add water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we
recommend a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has
the catalog
number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
Contact your dealer to learn how
to prepare your vehicle for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over
20 minutes to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
0 Apply the parking brake.
0 Make sure the front wheels are straight.
0 Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
