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.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90%- of the engine oil’s
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.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which
to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 41
This message will appcar whcn your engine coolant temperature is over
248’ F (126” C). To avoid added strain on a hot engine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and
allow your vehicle to idle until*it cools
down or the message is removed. If it does mt cool down, turn off your
engine and
have it sewiced before driving it again. Severe engine damage
can result
from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating“ in the
Index.

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.

If the CHECK OIL light on the instrument panel comes on, it means you
need to check your engine oil level right away. For more information, see
“Check
Oil Light” in the Index. You should check your engine oil level
regularly;
this is an added reminder.
It’s a good idea
to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
Turn off the engine and
give
the oil a few
minutes
to drain back
into
the oil pan. If you
don‘t, the
oil dipstick
might
not show the
actual level.
