You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates, and if they have been
reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions.
FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTHES
If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada,
unleaded fuel may be hard to find. Do not use leaded gasoline. If you use
even one tankful, your emission controls won’t work well or at all. With
continuous use, spark plugs can get fouled, the exhaust system can
corrode, and your engine oil can deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle’s
oxygen sensor will be damaged. All
of that means costly repairs that
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil
company that does business
in the country where you’ll be driving.
You can also write us at the following address for advice. Just tell us
where you’re going and give your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

FUEL ECONOMY
Your fuel economy (miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers) can vary
depending on how your Cadillac
is driven. Several vehicles like yours
have been driven through a standard test and their actual fuel economy
was recorded. These readings were adjusted and printed on the fuel
economy window sticker which was attached to your new Cadillac when
it
was delivered and in the Gas Mileage Guide which is available from your
dealership.
The fuel economy estimates are based on results of tests required by the
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These tests are used to
certify that vehicles meet the Federal emissions and fuel economy
standards. Cadillac tests prototypes of new vehicles and submits the
results to the EPA. The EPA then confirms the accuracy of the figures
provided by Cadillac. The vehicles are driven
by a professional driver
under controlled laboratory conditions, on an instrument similar to a

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.

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)
