c
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easicr at
a lower spccd for increased
nlancuverahility and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort
is also increased proportionately. At highwav speeds the
amount of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual-like
steering feel for maximum control
and enhanced vehicle stability.
Speed Sensitive Suspension
The Speed Sensitive Suspension automaticallv controls the firmness of the
car's ride
by automatically controlling an actuator in each of the four
struts. Thesystem has three damping modes
-- Comfort, Normal and
Firm. Damping mode selection
is controlled by the electronic control
module according
to vehicle speed conditions, liftldive input, lateral
acceleration switch input and any error conditions which may exist.
The control module
is a computer used to control and monitor the Speed
Sensitive Suspension svstem.
It also controls the operation of the Speed
Sensitive Steering.
If the control module receives an incorrect feedback
signal for
two successive ignition cycles, an error code will be set in
memory and a SERVICEkIDE CONTROL message will be displayed on
the Drker Information Center. If the messagc should appear, have your
vehicle serviced at your Cadillac dealer at your earliest convenience.

There are two things the system docsrl’r 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 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or
three months (whichever comes first) unlesi the display says to change
it eve11 somer than that.
0 It doesn’t check IIOCV much oil you have, so you‘ll still have to check for
that. To see how, see “Engine Oil“ in the Index.
Electronic Level Control
The Electronic Level Control (ELC) system autonmtically adjusts the rear
trim height in response to changes in vehicle loading. The system consists
of
an air compressor assembly, air drver, exhaust solcnoici, compressor
relay, height sensor, air adjustable shocks and air tubing. The compressor
is activated
when the ignition is on and a sufficient amount of weight is
added
to the car to cause the rear suspension to deflect more than
approximately one inch. The exhaust solenoid
is powered at all times,
allowing the system to exhaust with the ignition off when excess weight
is
removed from the vehicle.
If the system has a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For a larger air leak the air compressor may stay on for up to seven
minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but
you can keep driving
lyour Cadillac.
