Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system probably will say to change the oil between 3000 miles
(5000 km) and 7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it
before
3000 under very severe conditions. It all depends on your driving
patterns. If it’s been
7500 miles (12500 km) it always says to change the oil.
There are
two things the system doesn’t do:
0 It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in
a dusty area, you should change your oil every
3000 miles (5000 km)
or
3 months (whichever comes first), unless the display says to change
it even sooner than that.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check
for that.
To see how, see Engine Oil in the Index.
men You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do it, display
the “OIL LIFE INDEX” by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then
press and hold the RESET buttons until the display shows
“100 OIL
LIFE LEFT”
Electronic Level Control
This keeps your car level.
The ignition has to be “ON” for the level control to work. When you turn
the ignition off, you may hear the level control exhausting. The system
consists
of an electronic height sensor, a small electric air compressor,
and air adjustable shock absorbers mounted on the rear
of the vehicle.
If the system has a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For
a massive air leak, the air compressor will stay on for approximately
7 minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but you can keep
driving your Cadillac.

Push the (symbol)
button until “AUTO” is
displayed on the
screen.
At this setting, the fan speed
is controlled automatically.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan
speed right away. The system checks the temperature
of the coolant to
assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When the coolant
is warm, the
controllers will allow the fan to ramp up to a higher speed. This prevents
cold air from blowing into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower fan to run only at a fixed high speed, push the
(upper) button until you see “HI” on the display.
If you want the fan speed to be automatic, but you like the fan speed to
be higher than the.AUT0 setting, just push the buttons until “HI/AUTO”
is shown on the display.
If you want the blower to run only at a fixed
low speed, push the (low)
button until “LO” is shown on the display.
If you want the fan speed to run lower than the “AUTO” setting, push the
button until “AUTO
LO” is shown on the display.
DEFROSTER
--
Push this button to
remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most
of the air flow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets.
The fan speed
will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature.
If you need more air to your windshield, you should select a
higher fan speed.
In some cold start conditions, the AUTO fan speed may be limited until
the system warms up. This is normal
to prevent windshield fogging.
It will help a lot
if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).

your radio because AMAX@ is automatic.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
although some
do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of
Motorola, Inc.) If your Delco’ system can get C-QUAM@, your “ST”
stereo light will come on when you’re receiving it.
Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound
level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
0 Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle -- like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it’s very important
to do
it properly Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine - Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re
awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces
your area
of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also,
you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or
stops. Keep back a reasonable distance.
0 When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate
but stay in the right lane and don’t get too close. Time your move
so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other
lane. If the way is clear to pass, you will have a “running start” that
more than makes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back.
And if something happens to cause you to cancel your pass, you need
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
- -- If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone isn’t trying to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
0 Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving out of the right lane to pass. When you
are far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to
see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back
into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirror is
convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem to
be farther away from
you than it really is.)
0 Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly. Even though the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to
turn.
