1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD fuel cap

FUEL GAGE
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The 17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
>When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC‘ light will go on.
‘If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the “LOW FUEC’
will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
.these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
>gage-
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/2”, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity
to
fill it.
The gage changes when you turn (or stop, or speed up).

The filler door is
locked and unlocked
every time you use the
power door locks. If
pushing the power lock
switch doesn't unlock
or lock the fuel filler
door, you can use the
manual lock release
lever, in the trunk.
Move the lever to the
left to unlock the fuel
filler door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
When you put the cap back on, turn it
to the right until you hear a
clicking noise.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right type. Your dealer
can get one
for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not fit or
have proper venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system
might
be damaged.

Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly. Then
just pull the hood down and close it firmly.
ENGINE OIL
If the LOW OIL LEVEL light on the instrument panel comes on, it
means you need to check your engine oil level right away.
For more.
information, see Low Oil Level light in the Index.
You should check your-
engine oil level regularly; this is .an, added reminder.
It's
a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
om level ground.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver's door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear
axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don't carry
more than

NOTICE:
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:
0 Too much flexing
0 Too much heat
0 Tire overloading
Bad wear
0 Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much
air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
0 Bad handling
0 Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
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.
Your tire pressures are:
0 Front and Rear - 30 psi (210 kPa)
