After you’ve used the coolant warmer, be sure to store the cord
as it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you
_- don’t, it could be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant warmer plugged in? The answer
depends
on the weather, the kind of oil you have, and some other things.
Instead
of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact a Cadillac
dealer
in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can
_-
~. give you the best advice for that particular area.

This light tells you if
there could be a
problem with your engine oil pressure.
The light goes on when you turn your key to “Run” or “Start.”
It goes off
once you start your engine. That’s just a check to be sure the light works.
If it doesn’t, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When the light comes on and stays on, it means oil isn’t going through
your engine properly. You could be low on oil, or you might have some
other oil problem.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be
costly and
is not covered by your warranty.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Life Indicator s_
This feature lets you know when to change your engine oil. It’s based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see the display,
press the Information
button several times
until “XX OIL LIFE
LEFT” appears.
You’ll see how much oil life you have left, as a percentage.
So, if you see
“95 OIL LIFE LEFT,” for example, that means that the way you’re
driving your car, 95% of your current oil life is still left.
The Oil Life Indicator may say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written
record
of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more
information on when to change your oil, see the Cadillac Maintenance
Schedule Booklet.
If you see “CHANGE OIL SOON,” it means that you have less than 10%
of your oil life left, and you should consider changing your engine oil.
If you
see “CHANGE ENGINE OIL,” it means the oil life is gone and
you should change the oil right away (certainly within 200 more miles
[ 320 km]) .
The system probably will say to change the oil between 3000 miles (5000
km) and 7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it before
3000 under
very severe conditions. It all depends on your driving patterns.
If it’s been 7500 miles (12500 km) it always says to change the oil.
