1995 CADILLAC ELDORADO height

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Level Control
The level control system automatically adjusts the rear trim height in
rcsponse to changes in vehicle loading. The system consists of an air
compressor assembly, air dryer, exhaust solenoid, compressor relay,
height sensor, air adjustable shocks and air tubing.
The height sensing function is performed by the Road-Sensing
Suspension
(RSS) rear position sensors. Rear trim height information is
input from the rear position sensors to the RSS control module which
controls compressor and exhaust solenoid operation.
If the system has a slight leak, the air cornpressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For a larger air leak the air compressor may stay on for up to seven
minutes.
You should see your dealer for service, but you can keep driving
your Cadillac.

Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in
costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied
or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong
with your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if
there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could bc a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the vehicle moving, your
brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have
to be
of top quality and work wcll together if the vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles
we design and test have top-quality GM brake
parts in them,
as your Cadillac does when it is new. When you replace
parts of your braking system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and
you have to have new ones put in -- be sure you get new
genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer
work properly. For example,
if someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle,
the balance between your front and rear brakes
can change
-- for the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to
expect can change in many
other ways if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.

Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted or corroded. If
wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air, replace
it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac
dealer
if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new
wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them
only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
Cadillac model.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life,
brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire \
chain clearance
to the body and chassis.
