1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE check engine light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine - Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you’ll want
to get to know your rig. Acquaint
- yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of
the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is
now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform (and attachments),
safety chains, electrical connector, lights, tires and mirror adjustment.
If
the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are
working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and
that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sudden turns.
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before
you can return to your lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left.
To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to
the right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.

requirements
for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your Cadillac dealer is ready to advise if
you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your Cadillac has an “Oil Life Indicator.” This feature will let you
know when to change your oil and filter
-- usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle more than 7,500 miles (12 500 km)
or 12 months without an oil change.
The system
won’t detect dust in the oil. So, if you drive in a dusty area, be
sure to change
your oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the
CHANGE OIL
SOON light comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life
Indicator when the oil has been changed. For more information, see
“Oil
Life Indicator” in the Index.
How to Reset the Oil Life Indicator
After the oil has been changed, display the OIL LIFE LEFT message by
pressing the INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the
RESET
button until the display shows “100”. This resets the oil life index. The
message will remain
off until the next oil change is needed. The
percentage of oil life remaining may be checked at any time by pressing
the INFORMATION button several times until the
OIL LIFE LEFT
message appears. For more information on the Oil Life Index feature, see
__
“Oil Life Index” in the Index.

When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the proper level,
which is
two and a half inches (60 mm) below the base of the fill neck.
Use a flashlight as necessary to see into the tank.
To Add Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant surge tank,
but only when the engine is cool.

When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is tight.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Check Brake Fluid
Remove the cap.
The fluid level must be to the maximum
fill line at the base of the neck as
shown. c_
When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will
come on. See “Brake System Warning Light”
in the Index.
Wat to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco
Supreme
ll@ (GM Part No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap before
removing
it.
NOTICE:
Don’t let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. For
example, just
a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system
parts
so badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful not to spill brake
fluid on your vehicle.
If you do, wash it off immediately. See
‘!Appearance Care” in the Index.
