1994 CADILLAC SEVILLE steering wheel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the towing service arrives, let the tow operator know that this
manual contains detailed towing instructions and illustrations. The
operator may want
to see them.
When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
off. The steering
wheel should be clamped in a straight-ahead position, with a clamping
device designed for towing service.
Do not use the vehicle’s steering
column lock for this. The transaxle should be in Neutral and the parking
brake released.

pressure cap. Be
sure the arrows on
the pressure cap
line up
like this.
Start the engine and allow it to warm up. If the “ENGINE COOLANT
LOW” message does not appear on the Driver Information Center,
coolant is at the proper fill level. If an “ENGINE COOLANT
LOW”
message does appear, repeat steps 1 to 3 or see your dealer.
IF A TIRE GOES FLAT
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you
maintain your tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likely
to leak out slowly. But
if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a
few tips about what to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot
off the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer
to maintain lane position, then gently brake
to a stop well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction you’d use in a skid. In any rear blowout,
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under
control by steering the way you want the vehicle to go. It may be
very
bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake to a stop, well off
the road if possible.
If a tire goes flat, the next section shows how to use your jacking
equipment to change a flat tire safely.

Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well
as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting you\
r
transaxle back and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area
around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
“R”
(Reverse) and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible.
Release the accelerator pedal while
you shift, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal when the transaxle is in gear. If that doesn’t get you
out
after a few tries, you may need to be towed out. If you do need to be
towed out, see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.

by the combination
of 4 speed overdrive gearing, a torque converter
clutch, with a
3.71:l final drive ratio on the STS and a viscous converter
clutch with a
3.11:l final drive ratio on the Seville SLS.
Front Suspension
Your fully independent front suspension is a combination strut and spring
design. The frame is isolated from the body with
six rubber mounts.
Rubber bushings are used at the lower control arm pivots. The upper end
of the strut is isolated by a rubber mount which contains a bearing to
allow for wheel turning. The Road Sensing Suspension automatically
controls the damping rate of the struts.
The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a ball joint riveted to the
control arm. The ball joint
is connected to the steering knuckle with a
castellated nut and cotter pin.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force which
moves the rack left or right. The force is then transmitted through the
inner and outer tie rods to the steering knuckles, which turn the wheels.
If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is maintained. However
under these conditions more steering effort is required.
