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.

AIR CONDITIONING mFNGEWTS
Not all air conditioning refrigerants are the same. If the air conditioning
system in your vehicle needs refrigerant, be sure the proper refrigerant is
used.
If you’re not sure, ask your Cadillac dealer. For additional
information, see your “Warranty and Owner Assistance Informati\
