Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t \
covered
by your warranty. See “Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode” in the Index.
If there seems to be no leak, check to see if the electric engine fans are
running. If the engine is overheating, both fans should be running.
If they
aren’t, your vehicle needs service.
How to Add‘Coolant to the Coolant Surge Tank
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn’tvisible
inside the surge tank add a
50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably
distilled) and a proper antifreeze at the coolant surge tank, but be sure
the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is
cool
before you do it. (See “Engine Coolant’’ in the Index for more
information about the proper coolant mix.)
If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hose, heater hoses, radiator,
water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system.

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.
