1995 CADILLAC ELDORADO parking brake

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done at your Cadillac dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.
NOTICE:
Too much or too little fluid can damage your transaxle. Too
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall
on hot engine parts or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be
sure to get an accurate reading if you check your transaxle fluid.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you
have been driving:
When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32'C).
0 At high speed for quite a while.
0 In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180°F to 200°F (82OC to 93°C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when
outside temperatures are above
50°F ( 10°C). If it's colder than 50°F
(lO"C), you may have to drive longer.
To check the fluid level
Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep the engine running.
With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever in PARK (P).
With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each
gear range,
pausing €or about three seconds in each range. Then,
position the shift lever in PARK (P).
0 Let the engine run at idle for three to five minutes.

c. Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You never have to add
water to one
of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom@ battery. Get
one that has the replacement number
shown on the original battery’s label.
Whicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer
storage periods.
Battery Power Loss
If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s
computer must be programmed. It takes just over
20 minutes to do it. If
you want to do it yourself, here’s how:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Make sure the front wheels are straight.
3. Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.
4. Start the engine in PARK (P) and let it idle for 15 minutes.
5. Put your foot on the brake pedal, shift the transaxle to OVERDRIVE
(@) and let it idle for three minutes or more. Do not accelerate the
engine.
