NOTICE:
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.
AUTOlMATIC TMSAZE FLUID
When 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 a 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for\
wear.
Every time you apply the brakes moderately, with
or without the vehicle
moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
As you make brake stops, your disc brakes automatically adjust for\
wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum
brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly
applying the brakes a
few times.
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
if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
BATTERY
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.

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
1-800-955-5100
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.
