If the manual light switch is left on (as when someone has parked your
car), you’ll hear a warning tone when you turn
off the ignition and open
the driver’s door.
Retained Accessory Power
When you stop your Cadillac and turn the ignition to “OFF”, you can use
these accessories for
10 more minutes.

When you open
a door, everything will go off. And, after 10 minutes
everything will go off also.
If you want power for another 10 minutes, just turn the key to “RUN”
and back to “OFF”.
Power Drain Protection
When the ignition is off and the interior lights or underhood lights are
accidentally left on, they will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes. This
protects you from a possible dead battery.
To turn power back on, lift up
on the outside door handle or turn the ignition to the “RUN” position.

WMING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it bec0me.s
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light
comes on, there could
be a brake problem.
Have your brake
system inspected right
away.
This light should come on as you start the vehicle.
If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

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.
Traction Control System Lights
Traction Engaged
This light will go on as
a bulb check when you
start your engine. It
will also come on when
the traction control
system is active.

slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is
skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues
-- such as enough water, ice or
packed snow on the road to make a “mirrored surface”
-- and slow down
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock braking system
(ABS) helps avoid only the
braking skid.
DRZWNG AT NIGHT
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that
some drivers are likely to be impaired
-- by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.

Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more
space between you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlights can light
up only
so much road ahead.

ELUARD WMING FLASHERS
Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police
know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lights will flash
on and off.

make your front and
rear turn signal lights
flash on and off.
Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what position your key is in,
and even
if the key isn’t in.

What to Use
Standard Differential
Use Axle Lubricant (GM Part No. 1052271) or SAE 8OW-90 GL-5 gear
lubricant.
ENGINE COOLANT
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac
will:
Give freezing protection down to -34 F (-37 C).
Give boiling protection up to 262 F (128 C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
I Let the warning lights work as they should.
1 What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets “GM Specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts.
You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change.
If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.
