TIRES
We don’t make tires. Your Cadillac comes with high-quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have questions about your tire
warranty
and where to obtain service, see your Cadillac Warranty booklet
for details.
~~ -~
A CAUTION:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
0
0 Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of
too much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle”
in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded tires.
The resulting accident could cause serious
injury. Check all
tires frequently
to maintain the recommended pressure. Tire
pressure should be checked when your tires are
cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by a sudden impact, such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires
at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them. . .
See (‘Inflation - Tire Pressure” in this section for inflation
pressure adjustment for higher speed
driving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact sparc tire.
It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Simply
looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure, especially ii you have
radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even if they’re
underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks
by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10 000 to ‘13 000 km)
for any signs
of unusual wear. If unusual wear is present, rotate your tires
as
soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged
tires or wheels. See “When it’s Time for
New Tires” and “Wheel
Replacement” later in this section
for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires
on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.
When rotating your
tires, always use
the
correct rotation pattern
shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire
in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation
pressures as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain that
all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When it% Time for New Tires
One way to tell when
it’s time for new tires
is to check the
treadwear indicators,
which will appear
when your tires have
only
1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) or less of
tread remaining.
You need a new tire if
You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire.
You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber.
0 The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show
cord
or fabric.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
0 The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired
well because
of the size or location of the damage.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GLASS
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco
smoke and dust
films.
Don’t usc abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since
they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD AND WIPER
BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax
or other material may be on the
blade
or windshield.
Clean
the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner,
Bon-Ami Power0
(GM Part No. 105001 1). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean
the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Thcn rinse
the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked
on a regular basis and replaced when
worn.
WEATHERSTMPS
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better,
and
not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application
may be required.
