.- . Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver’s door tells you
the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires
on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about
the number
of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options. ..-

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s
door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
203 lbs. (92 kg) in your trunk.

NOTICE:
Your warranty does not cover parts or components that fail
because of overloading.
r If you put things inside your vehicle -- like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else
-- they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they'll keep going.

We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made
by
a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new Cadillac.
If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a
tire warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.

Inflation = Tire Pressure I
The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on the driver’s door
shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for
at least three hours or
driven no more than a mile.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one
and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
sf asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature = A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation
of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire €ailure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.

Your Cadillac dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use
a stiff brush with the cleaner.
WEATHERSTRlpS
Silicone lubricant on weatherstrips will allow them to last longer, seal
better, and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at
least
every six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
applications may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids
& Lubricants”
in the Index.)
SHEETMETAL DMGE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FOREIGNIMATERbU
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial cbimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to
remove foreign matter.
FINISH DMGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
into a major repair expense.
308
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.

Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least
every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can
do this
for you.
I
CHEMICAL PAINT SPOTTING
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your
vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
__.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.
