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.

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.
