You’ll find the button
here in the glove
box.
CONVENIENCE NET
You’ll find the convenience net just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns
or quick starts and stops.
The net is not
for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the trunk as far
forward as your can. You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when
you are not using it.

NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or slow -- for the first 500
miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear
and earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time
you get new brake linings.
IGNITION KEY POSITIONS
-
This lock gives you five
different positions.
Before you put the key in,
your ignition will be in the “LOCK’ position.
This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s an
anti-theft feature. -

Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park) if your Cadillac is moving. If you
when your vehicle
is stopped.
- do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to “P” (Park) only
1. Don’t push the accelerator pedal before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do this, but because of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.
2. Turn your ignition key to “Start.” When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm.
3. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in “Start” for about 15
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about one minute
between each try to help avoid draining your battery.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in “Start” for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
:
4. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in “Start”
for about three seconds.
If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or
six seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.

Ensure the shift lever is fully in “P7’ (Park) range before starting the
engine. Your Cadillac has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to
fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from ‘‘P” (Park) when
the ignition key is in the “Run” position.
If you cannot shift out of “P”
(Park), ease pressure on the shift lever
- push the shift lever all the way
into ‘‘P77 (Park) and also release the shift lever button on floor shift
console models as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift
lever into the gear you wish. (Press the shift lever button before moving
the shift lever on floor shift console models.) See “Shiftine Out of ‘P’
(Park)” in this part.

NOTICE:
Shifting to “R” (Reverse) while your vehicle is moving forward
could damage your transaxle. Shift to “R” only after your\

vehicle is stopped.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder
to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have
the vehicle.towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your
parking brake, and it will stay on
if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you
have a brake problem.

II
With anti-lock, this light will come on when you start your engine and
may stay on for several seconds. That’s normal.
If the light doesn’t come
on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is 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.
