1994 CADILLAC ELDORADO windshield wipers

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Before you put the key In, your ignition will be in the “LOCK” position.
This position locks your ignition, steering
wheel and transaxle. It’s an
anti-theft feature.
The other positions let
you perform these functions:
ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is off. To get into “ACC”, push
in the key and turn
it toward you. Your steering wheel
will remain locked, just as it was-
before you inserted the key.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like “Lock.” Use “Off”
if you
must have your car in motion while the engine is off (for example, if your
car is being pushed).
RUN This is the position for driving.
STARR This starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Lock” and you can’t turn it, be sure it
is
all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with your
hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition
switch. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
“N” (Neutral) only.

NOTICE: -
Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park) if your Cadillac is moving. If you
I
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to “P” (Park) only
when your vehicle
is stopped.

“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their
own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your
own state or
provincial highway authoritfi for applicable lighting regulations.

headlights from low
‘beam to high or high to

lever all the way toward

you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlights are off.
