1995 CADILLAC ELDORADO maintenance reset

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine LOW OIL LEVEL - 36
For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface. A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil
level if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with
the engine off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has
been off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations”
in the Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change the
Oil Life Index must be resct. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index on how
to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248’ F (126’ C). To avoid added strain on a hot cngine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and allow your vehicle
to idle until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off your
engine and have it serviced before driving
it again. Severe engine damage
can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating” in the
Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Oil Life Indicator may say to change the oil sooner than your
Maintenance Schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written
record
of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more
information on when to change your oil, see the Cadillac Maintenance
Schedule Booklet.
If you see CHANGE
OIL SOON, it means that you have less than 10% of
your oil life left and you should consider changing your engine oil.
If you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and
you should change the oil right away (certainly within 200 more miles
E320 km]).
The system should indicate to change the oil between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km), but it may even indicate to
change it before 3,000 miles under very severe conditions. It all depends
on your driving patterns. If it’s been
7,500 miles (12 500 km), it indicates
to change the oil.
There are two things the system doesn’t do:
It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in a
dusty area, you should change your oil
every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or
three months (whichever comes first) unless the display says
to change
it even sooner than that.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check for
that. To see how, see “Engine Oil” in the Index.
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do this, display
the OIL LIFE INDEX by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then
press and hold the
RESET buttons until the display shows 100 OIL LIFE
