1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD air condition

NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in
costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
Rear Drum Brakes
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a
rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected. Also, the
rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires
are removed for rotation or changing. When you have
the front brakes
replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if
there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for
wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes

Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
I buildup and possible tire failure.
While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles.
All passenger type (P Metric) tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
I
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If
you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need
to be rebalanced.
Wheel Rephcement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be
replaced.
If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum wheels,
I which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for your
Cadillac model.

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.
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.
UNDERBODYWNTENN/'E
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
I flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for you.
CHEMICAL PANT 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.
