These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in one of your
vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first sold in Canada or are export
vehicles will have a number after each message. This number helps to
identify that message, which is only displayed in English.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT - 46
This message will appear if your vehicle is in “P” (Park) for about
15 seconds and the brake is not depressed. If you do not want this
message to appear, you can cancel this message by holding the “OFF”
and the Blue (cooler) button on the Electronic Climate Control panel for
about
5 seconds. Hold the same two buttons again to have this message

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are two things the system doesn’t do:
It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in
a dusty area, you should change your oil
every 3000 miles (5000 km)
or 3 months (whichever comes first), unless the display says to change
it even sooner than that.
0 It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check
for that. To see how, see Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do it, display
the “OIL
LIFE INDEX” by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then
press and hold the RESET buttons until the display shows
“100 OIL
LIFE LEFT”
Electronic Level Control
This keeps your car level.
The ignition has to be “ON” for
the level control to work. When you turn
the ignition off, you may hear the level control exhausting.
The system
consists
of an electronic rear position sensor, a small electric air
compressor, and air adjustable shock absorbers mounted on the rear
of
the vehicle.
If the system has a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For a massive air leak, the air compressor will stay on for approximately
7 minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but you can keep
driving your Cadillac, though.

Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if
you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you know
when to change your oil
-- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change. Under severe
conditions, the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles (5 000 km).
Never drive your vehicle more than 7,500 miles (12 000 km) or 12 months
without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust in the oil.
So, if you drive in a dusty area, be
sure to change your oil every
3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the
“Change Oil Soon” light comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life
Indicator when the oil has been changed. For more information, see “Oil
Life Indicator” in the Index.
How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, display the “OIL LIFE LEFT” message
by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the
RESET button until the display shows “100”. This resets the
oil life index.
The message will remain off until the next oil change
is needed. The
percentage
of oil life remaining may be checked at, any time by pressing
the INFORMATION button several times until the “OIL LIFE LEFT”
message appears. For more information on the Oil Life Index feature,
see
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather, 0” F (-18OC) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
