1994 CADILLAC DEVILLE parking brake

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer
to
the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service. (See “Towing Your Cadillac” in the Index.)
A CAUTIEON
Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
system warning li’ght is on. Driving with the brake system
warning light
on can lead to an accident. If the light-is still on
after you’ve pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the
vehicle
towed for service.
The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your
parking brake, and it
will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you
have a brake problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
ANTI-
LOCK (@)
With anti-lock,this
light will come on
when you start your
engine and may stay
on for several
seconds. That’s
normal.
If the light
doesn’t come on, have
it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you if
there is a problem.

Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your
brakes
so much that they would get hot and no longer work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 45
mph (70 km/h) or less to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle
overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 pounds (450 Kg) and you have an
automatic transaxle with Overdrive, you may want to drive in “3” instead
of Overdrive.
Parking on Hills
You really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill.
If something goes wrong, your rig could start to move. People can be
injured, and both your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.
But
if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here’s how to do it:
Apply your regular brakes, but do not shift into “P” (Park).
0 Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes until
Reapply the regular brakes. Then shift into “P” (Park) firmly and
the
chocks absorb the load.
apply your parking brakes.
Release the regular brakes.
When You Are Ready to Leave Afier Parking on a Hill
1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you:
Start your engine;
Shift into a gear; and
Be sure the parking brake has released.
2. Let up on the brake pedal.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your transaxle. Too
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall
on hot engine parts or exhaust system, starting a fire. Be sure to
get an accurate reading if you check your transaxle fluid.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you
have been driving:
When outside temperatures are above 90" F (32" C).
0 At high speed for quite a while.
In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180 " F to 200 " F (82 C to 93 C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when
outside temperatures are above
50 F (10 C). If it's colder than 50 F
(10 " C), you may have to drive longer.
To check thefluid level
Park your vehicle on a level place.
With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever in "P" (Park).
With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each
gear range, pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then,
position the shift lever in "P" (Park).
Let the engine run at idle for three to five minutes.

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.
