For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A false LOW OIL LEVEL mcssage may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing svstem does not check
for actual oil
level if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on levcl
ground with the engine off for at least 30 minutcs, vour oil level should be
checked
by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to cheiking your oil level be
sure your engine has been
off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine
Oil” in the Index.

washer solvent.

expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within
300 miles. See enginc oil and filter recommendations in
the Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change the Oil Life Index must be
reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index on how to reset it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Life Indicator
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 SOOII~I- 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 wl~en you last changed your oil. For moro
information
on when to change your oil. see the Cadillac Maintenxw
Schedule Booklet.
If you see CHANGE OIL SOON, it means that you have less than iWk 01
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 should indicate to change the oil between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km), but it may even indicate to
change it before 3,000 miles under very severe conditions. It all depends
on your driving patterns. If it's been 7,500 miles (12 500 km), it indicates
to change the oil.

2. Let up on the brake pedal.
3. Drivc slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Maintenance when Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer.
See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are especially
important
in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid (don’t
overfill), engine
oil, belt, cooling system, and brake adjustment. Each of
these is covered in this manual, and the Index will help you find them
quickly.
If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review these sections before
you start your trip.
Check periodically
to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.

Service manuals contain diagnosis and repair information for all chassis
and body systems. They may be useful for owners who wish
to get a
greater understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful for owners
with
the appropriate skill level or training who wish to perform
“do-it-yourself” service. These
are authentic General Motors service
manuals meant for professional, qualified technicians.
SERVICE BULLETINS
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly sent to all General
Motors dealerships. GM monitors product performance in the field. When
service methods are found which promote better service
on GM vehicles,
bulletins are created to help the technician perform better service. Service
bulletins may involve any number
of vehicles. Some will describe
inexpensive service; others will describe expensive service. Some
will advise
new or unexpected conditions, and others may help avoid future costly
repairs. Service Bulletins are meant for qualified technicians. In some cases
they refer
to service manuals, specialized tools, equipment and safety
procedures necessary to service
the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued
throughout the model year and beyond, an index is required
and published
quarterly
to help identify specific bulletins. Subscriptions are available. YOU
can order an index at the toll-free numbers listed previously, or ask a GM
deafer to see an index or individual bulletin.
OWER PUBLICATIONS
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner assistance booklets
provide owners
with general operation and maintenance information.
