b.
This rich traditi.on continues
into the
'90s as Cadillac became the
first automobile manufacturer to be
awarded the prestigious Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award.
The
1992 Seville STS was the
first car ever to win
all three major
automotive awards: Car of the Year,
Motor Trend; Ten Best List, Car
&
Driver; Car of the' Year, Automobile
Magazine.
A
A 1993 Cadillac Allant6 in stock
technical configuration, was selected
as the pace car for the 76th Indianap-
olis
500. The demanding pace car
performance and handling require- ments were met because of such
advances as the Northstar system.
The system includes the
32 valve,
dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
4.6 liter V8 engine, 4T80 E electroni-
cally controlled automatic transaxle,
road sensing suspension, speed sen-
sitive steering, antilock brakes and
traction control.

Cadillac has been
a leader in quality

than ever, substance takes shape

NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need .an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first
1000 miles (160 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast.or slow -- for the first
1000 miles (160 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear
and earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in’’ guideline
every time
you get new brake linings.
IGNITIQN KEY POSITIONS
This lock
different : gives you
positions. five
‘Before you put the-key in, your ignition will
be in the Lock position. This
position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transmission. It’s an
anti-:theft ,feature.

Ensure the shift lever is fully in “P” (Park) range before starting the engine.
Your Cadillac has a brake-transmission shift interlock. You have to fully
apply your regular brakes before you can shift from “P” (Park) when the
ignition key is in the “Run” position.
If you cannot shift out of “P” (Park),
ease pressure on the shift lever
-- push the shift lever all the way into “P77
(Park) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the
gear you wish. See “Shifting Out of ‘P’ (Park)” in this part.
R (Reverse)
Use this gear to back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to “R” (Reverse) while your vehicle is moving forward
could damage your transmission. Shift to “R” only after your
vehicle
is stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand
without damaging your transmission, see
“If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud,
Ice
or Snow” in the Index.

D or 3 (Third Gear)
This is like
@, but you never go into Overdrive.
Here are some times you might choose
“D” or “3” instead of “@”:
- When driving on hilly, winding roads
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears
- When going down a steep hill
2 (Second Gear)
This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy.
You can
use
2 on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off
and on. (6 77
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km),
or at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your
transmission. Use
“D” or “3” as much as possible.
Don’t shift into
“2” unless you are going slower than 65 mph
(105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.
1 (First Gear)
This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transmission won’t shift into first
gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and
damage the transmission. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle
in position on
a hill.

TMLER TOWING PACMGE (OPTION)
If your Fleetwood is equipped with either V92 or V4P package, you can
increase your vehicle's trailer towing capability to
5,000 pounds (2270 kg)
or 7000 lbs. (3178 kg). To determine which package you have, see the
Service Parts Label located on the underside
of the trunk lid. These
packages include a trailering harness located
in the trunk, heavy-duty
engine and transmission cooling.
Also included are heavy-duty front and
rear springs, 2.93:l rear axle ratio and Eagle
GA P235/70R15 tires.

When you move out of “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral), if your engine is
running, your parking brake should go off. If it doesn’t, you have a
parking brake problem and should have it fixed. In the meantime, you
can still release your parking brake. Just pull on the manual release lever,
as shown.
I NOTICE:
Driving with the parking brake on can cause your rear brakes to
overheat.
You may have to replace them, and you could also
damage other parts
of your vehicle.
