1994 CADILLAC SEVILLE warning

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
- government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
-
__
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature -A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade.C corresponds to a level
of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
-. - tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
_- -
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades
are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.

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.
Never use these to clean your vehicle:
Gasoline
0 Benzene
Naphtha
Carbon Tetrachloride
0 Acetone
0 Paint Thinner
Turpentine
0 Lacquer Thinner
0 Nail Polish Remover
They can all be hazardous
-- some more than others -- and they can all
damage your vehicle, too.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Northstar engine is designed to minimize the need for routine
maintenance while incorporating systems to remind the driver when
service is required.
An oil life index indicator monitors ongoing operating
conditions and reminds the driver when an oil change is needed.
A low
coolant warning message keeps track of the level of this vital fluid. Direct
acting hydraulic tappets provide maintenance free zero lash operation of
the
32 valves from idle to the 6500 rpm redline. The camshafts are driven
by a
two stage roller chain assembly which is designed to provide quiet
maintenance free operation. Platinum tipped spark plugs increase the
replacement interval to
100,OO miles.
The four valves per cylinder design provides more efficient engine
breathing, resulting in higher power than comparable
two valve engines.
The induction system uses smooth thermoplastic tubes
to channel air into
the cylinders. These smooth tubes simulate the elaborate port polishing
methods used on racing engines. The shape and length
of the tubes
boosts horsepower by using sonic pressure waves created by the motion of
the inlet valves to increase the amount
of air entering each cylinder. Once
the intake charge has entered the cylinder, the centrally located spark
plug ensures fast and efficient burning of the fuel/air mixture.
This engine is designed to be very durable. The aluminum block has
cast-in-place iron cylinder liners for greater wear resistance. High
strength connecting rods support the
free floating piston pins in bronze
bushings for superior high speed performance.
The fillets of the nodular
iron crankshaft undergo a high pressure compression rolling operation to
improve their resistance to fatigue.
Quiet operation is enhanced by the use
of special materials and designs.
The front cover of the engine is stamped from laminated steel which
damps out noise. Special cam cover gasket seals isolate va1v.e train
operation. The fuel injectors are placed inside the induction system
housing to eliminate the clicking noise which
is common to other fuel
injected engines.
The Northstar engine is designed to provide years
of efficient, reliable,
satisfying operation.
