WMING LIGHTS
This part describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something
is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention
to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when
there may be or is a problem with one of
your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on briefly when you start the engine just
to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not
be alarmed when this happens.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information Center’’ in the Index.

to the dealer at once.
To save your battery until you get there turn off all
accessories.
Brake System Warning Light

hydraulic brake system
is divided into two
parts.
If one part isn’t
working, the other part
can still work

good braking,
though,
you need both
parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
One
of these lights should come on briefly as you start the vehicle. If it
doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there’s a problem.

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.
