This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transaxle.

Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and
damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in
position on
a hill.

Interior Lights
Turn the headlight switch past HI to turn on the interior lights.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
all the way in the other direction,
so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from only a few seconds to
90 seconds.

You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one will read the correct mileage. This is because your
car’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning
pictures will help you locate them. lights
that are on your vehicle. The
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention
to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is
a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a driver information system that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information System” in the Index.

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.
