NOTICE:
.. - , .., .. . **:. 7 ' . ..._ ^ . ,
Don't let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is
all right. It's not. If your tires don't have enough air
(underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing.,
Too much heat
Tire overloading
0 Badwear
Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can ger:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
0 Needless damage from road hazards.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires -- which may look properly' inflated even
if they're underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
The Eldorado tire pressures are:
0 Front - 28 psi (190 Pa)
Rear - 26 psi (180 kPa)

repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
m into a major repair expense.
It 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.

UNDERBODYlMAlNTEANCE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody.
If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for you.
CHEMICAL PMNT SPOTTING
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your
vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: .blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces
of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.

4.6L 32 Valve (DOHC) Northstar Engine
r
t-
The engine is a 4.6 liter (279 cu.in.1 90° V-8 featuring Dual Overhead
Cam (DOHC),
32 valve, and sequential port fuel injection.. This design
results in a powerful, refined engine which is wellmited to even the most
demanding driving conditions..
Engine weight is minimized by the use of low mass alloy materials. The
crankcase, cylinder heads and oil pan are made from cast aluminum. The
induction system housing, cam covers and
oil filter adapter are cast
magnesium.. The reduced engine mass enhances.vehicle handling and.
responsiveness.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Northstar engine is designed to require less maintenance than many
other DOHC
V-8 engines. Engine systems are designed to remind the
driver when service is required.
An oil life index indicator monitors
ongoing operating conditions and reminds the driver when an oil change
is needed.
A low coolant warning message keeps track.of the level of this
vital fluid. Direct acting hydraulic tappets provide maintenance free zero
lash operation
of the 32 valves from idle to the 6500 rpm redline. The
camshafts are driven by
a two stage roller chain assembly which is
designed
to provide quiet maintenance free Operation. Platinum tipped
,spark plugs increase the replacement interval
to 100,000 miles.
The four valve per cylinder design provides more efficient engine
breathing which results in higher power than comparable
two valve
engines. The central location
of each spark plug ensures a fast and
complete burning of the fuel/air mixture. The induction system uses
smooth thermoplastic tubes to channel air into the cylinders. The
smoothness
of the tubes is equivalent to the elaborate port polishing
methods used for race car engines. Careful design using the shape and
length
of the tubes boosts horsepower by using sonic pressure waves
created by the motion
of the inlet valves to increase the amount of air
entering ,each cylinder.
The Northstar engine is also designed
to be very durable. The aluminum
block has cast-in-place iron cylinder liners for greater wear resistance.
High strength connecting rods support the free floating piston pins in
bronze bushings for superior high speed performance. The fillets
of the
nodular iron crankshaft undergo
a high pressure compression rolling
operation to improve their resistance to fatigue.
Quiet operation is enhanced by the use of special materials and designs.
The front cover of the engine is stamped from laminated steel which
damps out noise. Special cam cover gasket seals isolate valve train
operation.The fuel injectors are placed inside the induction system
housing
to eliminate- the clicking noise which is common to other fuel
injected engines.
The Northstar engine is designed to provide years of efficient. reliable.
satisfying operation.
