1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD tire size

If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service.
If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on,
you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your
regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier
in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come on when you are
driving with
a compact spare tire. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a full-size
tire. If the warning light stays
on after you replace the compact spare with
a full-size tire, or if it comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.

r Hitches
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are a few reasons
why you need the right
hitch. Here are some rules to follow:
If you pull a fully loaded trailer that will weigh more than 2,000
pounds
(900 kg), be sure to use a properly mounted,
weight-distributing hitch and sway control of the proper size. This
equipment is very important for proper vehicle loading and good
handling when you’re driving.
Will you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you
install a trailer hitch?
If you do, be sure to seal the holes to prevent
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust from entering into
your vehicle (see Index under “Carbon Monoxide”).
Don’t let the steel in a hitch contact the aluminum on your bumper. If
you do, the
two will corrode. You can use a insulator such as paint or
plastic tape to separate the steel and aluminum. The same steel to
aluminum corrosion can happen with fasteners, too.
Using A Dead Weight Trailer Hitch
The trailer tongue should weigh 10% of the total trailer load
(maximum 300
lbs.) or as specified by the trailer manufacturer to
minimize sway.
Trailer brakes of adequate size are required on trailers over 1,000 lbs.
(450 kg) loaded weight.
0 If the trailer is over 5,000 lbs. (2270 kg) adjust vehicle rear tire
pressure to (35 psi cold tire pressure).

NOTICE:
Surge brakes do not function properly if used with most
equalizer hitches.

r
NOTICE:
Do not use sway control devices on trailers equipped with surge
brakes, i.e. boat trailers. Surge brakes do not function proper\
ly
when used with most sway control devices.
0 Trailer brakes of adequate size are recommended on trailers over
1,000 lbs loaded weight.
If trailer is over 5,000 lbs. (2270 kg), adjust vehicle rear tire pressure
to (35 psi. cold tire pressure).
Use a Reese custom made weight distributing hitch or the equivalent
for your Cadillac Fleetwood. (Reese product part number 36042)
Safety Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the. tongue of the trailer
so that the
tongue will not drop to the road
if it becomes separated from the hitch.
Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch
manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough
slack
so you can turn with your rig. And, never allow safety chains to drag
on the ground.
Trailer Brakes
If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg) loaded, it needs to
be equipped with adequate brakes. Be sure to read and follow the
instructions for the trailer brakes
so you’ll be able to maintain them
properly.
Because you have anti-lock brakes, don’t try to tap into your vehicle
hydraulic brake system. If you do, both brake systems won’t work well, or
at all.

I COMPACT SPARE TIRE
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It
should be
60 psi (420 Pa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you want.
Of course, it’s best to replace your
spare with a full-size tire as soon
as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when you are
driving with
a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.

IWO labels oflybuf vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found
on the driver's door tells you
the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about
the number
of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight
of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options.

The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired

Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle
when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s
sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are
designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride
and other things during normal service on your vehicle. If your tires have
an all-season tread design, the TPC number
will be followed by a “MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and
construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.

Tire Chains
NOTICE:
Use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use
only
SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for your
tires. Install them
on the rear tires and tighten them as tightly
as possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and
follow the chain manufacturer‘s instructions.
If you can hear
the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten them. If
the contact continues, slow down until it stops. Driving too fast
with chains on
will damage your vehicle.
APPEARANCE CARE
Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others
can burst into flame if
you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous
if you breathe their fumes in a closed space.
When you use anything from a container
to clean your Cadillac, be sure
to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open
your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside.
