Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if
you think something should be added.
Men to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil
-- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change. Under severe
conditions, the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles (5 000 km).
Never drive your vehicle more than
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months
without an oil change.

The system won’t detect dust in the oil. So, if you drive in a dusty area, be
sure to change your oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the
“CHANGE ENGINE OK’ message is displayed. Remember to reset the
‘ ’
Oil Life Indicator when the oil has been changed. For more information,
see
“Oil Life Indicator” in the Index.

How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, display the “OIL LIFE LEFT” message
by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the
RESET button until the display shows “100”. This resets the oil life index.
The message
will remain off until the next oil change is needed. The
percentage
of oil life remaining may be checked at any time by pressing
the INFORMATION button several times until the “OIL LIFE LEFT”
message appears. For more information on the Oil Life Index feature, see
-
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

If the air cleaner is off, a backfire can cause a damaging engine
fire. And, dirt can easily get into your engine, which will damage
it. Always have the air cleaner
in place when you’re driving.
AUTOMMTIC TRANSAXLE FLUID
Men to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this
done at your Cadillac dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to
follow all the instructions here, or you
could
get a false reading on the dipstick.

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.

MEDIATION/ARBITRATION PROGRAM*
Both Cadillac Motor Car Division and your Cadillac dealer are committed to
making sure you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle.
If a situation
arises where you feel your concern has not been adequately addressed, our
experience has shown that the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described on
Page
1 is very successful.
There may be instances where an impartial third-party can assist in arriving at a
solution to a disagreement regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. To assist in resolving these disagreements, Cadillac
voluntarily participates in BBB
AUTO LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better
Business Bureau system to settle disputes between customers and automobile
manufacturers. This program
is available free of charge to customers who own or
lease a GM vehicle.
If you are not satisfied after following the Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you
may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone number or the address listed
below:
BBB AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite
800
Arlington, Virginia 22203
Telephone
1-800-955-5 100
To file a claim, you will be asked to provide your name and address, your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN), and a statement
of the nature of your complaint.
Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and other factors.
We prefer that you utilize the Customer Satisfaction Procedure before you resort
to AUTO LINE, but you may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint by serving as an intermediary between you and Cadillac.
If this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be scheduled where
eligible customers may present their case to an impartial third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator will make a decision which you may accept or reject. If you accept
the decision, GM will be bound by that decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about forty days from the time you file a claim
until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you to use this program before filing a claim with a
state-run arbitration program or in the courts. For further information, contact
the BBB or the Cadillac Consumer Relations Center.
NOTE: This program may not be available in all states, depending on state law.
General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations andor to
discontinue its participation in this program. -
