1995 CADILLAC ELDORADO fuel cap

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine message will appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC). (On the
analog
fuel gage, the FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW message will also
appear.)
Here are a
few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of
these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong
with the fuel gage.
0 At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads F.
0 It takes more (or less) gas to fill the tank than the gage said. For
example, the gage read
8 GALLONS, but it took more (or less) than
the tank's remaining capacity
to fill it.
0 The gage may change when you turn, stop or speed up.
Fuel Data Panel
Your Fuel Data Panel tells you all you need to know about your fuel
economy and how far you can travel with the fuel remaining. Here's how
it works.
Press the AVG button to display the Average Mile Per Gallon (AVG
MPG).
You can also display it in metric units by pressing the ENG MET
button.
When AVG MPG is sclected, the total distance
is divided by the total fuel
used.

of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises every half hour or
SO
until help comes.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found
on the driver’s door tells you
the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for the
tires
on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about the
number
of peoplc that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you
can carry. This weight
is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes
the weight
of all occupants, cargo, and all options not installed in the
factory.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you
the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
If you do have a heavy load, you should spread
it out. Don’t carry more
than
176 pounds (80 kg) in your trunk.
If you put things inside your vehicle
-- like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else
-- they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or
if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result
in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer
correctly, follow the advice in this part, and see your Cadillac
dealer for important information about towing a trailer with
your vehicle.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if it is equipped with the Northstar 4.6L
engine and proper trailer towing equipment. To identify what the vehicle
trailering capacity
is for your vehicle, you should read the information in
“Weight of the Trailer” that appears later in this section. But trailering is
different than just driving your vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes
in handling, durability, and fuel economy. Successful, safe trailering takes
correct equipment, and it has to be used properly.
That’s the reason for this part. In it are many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules. Many
of these are important for your
safety and that
of your passengers. So please read this section carefully
before you pull
a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle, wheel assemblies,
and tires are forced to work harder against the drag
of the added weight.
The engine is required
to operate at relatively higher speeds and under
greater loads, generating extra heat. What’s more, the trailer adds
considerably
to wind resistance, increasing the pulling requirements.
If You Do Decide To Pull A nailer
If you do, here are some important points.
e There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions,
having to do with trailering. Make sure your rig will
be legal, not only
where you live but
also where you’ll be driving. A good source for this
information can be state or provincial police.
Consider using a sway control.

While refueling, hang
the cap inside the fuel
door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from painted surfaces as
soon as possible. See “Cleaning the Outside of Your Cadillac” in the
Index.
When
you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until you hear at least
three clicks.
I NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right type. Your dealer
can get one
for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not fit or
have proper venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system
might be damaged.
