Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How To Check Power Steering Fluid
Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap
and completely tighten
it. Then remove the cap again and look at the
fluid level
on the dipstick.
What to Add
0 When the engine
compartment
is
hot, the level
should be at the
“HOT” mark.
0 When the engine
compartment
is
cool, the level
should be at the
“FULL COLD”
mark.
Refer to
the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to
use.
NOTICE:
When adding power steering fluid or making a complete fluid
change, always use the proper fluid. Failure
to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.

NOTICE:
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.
Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if iE
is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your paint.

Your brake master
Cylinder
cylinder is here.
It is
filled with DOT-3 brake
fluid.
There are only
two reasons why the brake flul,
leve your master
cylinder might go down. The first is that the brake fluid-goes down to an
acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are
put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out
of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake
system fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later your brakes won’t
work well, or won’t work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off” your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak.
If you add fluid when
your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new
brake linings.
You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only
when work is done
on the brake hydraulic system.
A CAUTION
If you have too much brake fluid, it can spiIl on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is hot enough. You or others could
be burned, and your vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid
only when work
is done on the brake hydraulic system.

FLUID” message will display on the Driver Information Center and your
brake warning light will come on. See “Brake System Warning Light”
in
the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid
Remove the cap.

When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will
come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
Mat to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
- Delco Supreme ll@ (GM Part No.1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only, and always clean
the brake fluid reservoir cap
before removing it.

0 Donst let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. For
example,
just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in
your brake system can damage brake system
parts
so ba.dly that they’ll have to be replaced.
Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful not to spill- brake
fluid on your vehicle.
If yondo, wash it off immediately.,See
“Appearance Care” in the Index
Brake- Wear
Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched
warningsound when-.the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The soundmay come and-go;
or be heard all the time your vehicle is
moving (except when yoware pushing on the brake pedal firmly).
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brakepads couM result in
costly brake:repair.

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.

The torque converter houses a pump, turbine, pressure plate which is
splined to the turbine, and a stator assembly, serving as a fluid coupling, it
smoothly transmits power from the engine to the transaxle. It also
hydraulically provides a additional torque when required. When applied,
the pressure plate provides a mechanical torque when required. When
applied, the pressure plate provides a mechanical direct drive coupling of
the engine to the transaxle.

The two planetary gear sets provide the four forward gear ratios and
reverse. Changing of the gear ratios is fully automatic and is
accomplished through the use of various electronic and mechanical
requirements. Four multiple disc clutches, two roller clutches, a sprag
clutch, and three bands provide the friction elements required to obtain
the various ratios with the planetary gear sets.
A hydraulic system (the control valve body) pressurized by a vein type
pump provides the working pressure needed to operate the friction
elements and automatic controls.
Front Suspension
Your fully independent front suspension is a combination strut and spring
design. The frame is isolated from the body with six rubber mounts.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speed Sensitive Steering
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased to provide a manual
like steering feel for
maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability.
The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary spool valve which
directs hydraulic fluid coming from the power steering pump to one side
or the other side
of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to
the rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force
which moves the rack left or right. The force is
then transmitted through
the inner and outer tie rods to the steering knuckles, which turn the
wheels
If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is maintained. However
under these conditions more steering effort
is required.
