ENGINE COOLANT
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating”
in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac
will:
Give freezing protection down to -34’F (-37OC).
0 Give boiling protection up to 262’F (128OC).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0 Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM Specification 1825M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use
a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant flush and
refill. If you use this
mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.

When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as
Delco Supreme
ll@ (GM Part No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a
sealed container only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap
before removing it.
NOTICE:
e Don’t let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. For
example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such
as
engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system
parts
so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
0 Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful not to spill brake
fluid
on your vehicle. If you do, wash it off immediately. See
‘!Appearance Care” in the Index.
Brake Wear
Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound may come and
go or be heard all the time your vehicle is
moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).

NOTICE:
Be careful. A blow dryer may scorch the fabric.
0 Wipe with a clean cloth.
Using Solvent-Qpe Cleaner on Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and
stains will clean
off better with just water and mild soap.
If you need to use a solvent:
Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife
or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths
(preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside
of the
stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing
to a clean section
of the cloth.
0 When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with a
blow dryer to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See the previous
NOTICE.)
Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains
Such as grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream,
chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and
asphalt.
0 Carefully scrape off excess stain.
0 Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful,
because the cleaner will dissolve them
and may cause them to spread.

wine, vomit, urine and blood.

water.
0 If a stain remains, follow the foam-type instructions described earlier.
0 If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area with a
water/baking soda solution: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup

If needed, clean lightly with solvent-type cleaner.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting
agents, road
oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from
industrial chimneys, etc. can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain
on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If necessary, use
non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces
to remove
foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject
to aging, weather and chemical
fallout that can take their toll over a period
of years. You can help to keep
the paint finish looking
new by keeping your Cadillac garaged or covered
whenever possible.
ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because
you could
damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
NOTICE:
Don’t use an automatic car wash that has hard silicon carbide
cleaning brushes. These brushes can take the protective coating
off your aluminum wheels.
TIRES
To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner.
When applying a tire dressing always take care to wipe
off any overspray
or splash from painted surfaces. Petroleum-based products may damage
the paint finish.
SHEETMETAL DMGE
6-58
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
