Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t turn it, be sure
it is all the
way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch.
If none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Cadillac is moving. If you
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to PARK
(P) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
To start your Northstar V8 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to
START When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
- -- 2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in START for about three
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds
between
each try to help avoid draining your battery.

Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering
is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability
and parking ease. As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is
also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount
of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual-like
steerin.e feel
for maxirnu.m control and enhanced vehicle stability.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CONTROL OFA VEHICLE 7
You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. cd
They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator. All three systems
have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road.
Sometimes, as when you're driving on snow or ice, it's easy to ask more
of
those control systems than the tires and road can provide. That means you
can lose control
of your vehicle.
