1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong
soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild
detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based,
or
that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed
promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry
the finish with a soft, clean chamois or a
100% cotton towel to avoid
surface scratches and water spotting.
-
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac by hand may be
necessary to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM
approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and
Materials” in the Index.)
I
Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and
polishes that are non-abrasive and made
for a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish.
NOTICE:
7
I
I Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl
I-
marks.
7 I
Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting
agents, road
oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from
industrial chimneys, etc. can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain
-
on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If necessary, use -
non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to remove
foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather and chemical
fallout that can take their toll over a period of years. You can help to keep
the paint finish looking new by keeping
your Cadillac garaged or covered
whenever possible.

ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because
you could
damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
NOTICE:
Don’t use an automatic car wash that has hard silicon carbide
cleaning brushes. These brushes can take the protective coating
off your aluminum wheels.
TIRES
To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner.
When applying a tire dressing always take care to wipe
off any overspray
or splash from painted surfaces. Petroleum-based products may damage
the paint finish.
SHEETMETAL DMGE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FINISH DWGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal
will corrode quickly and may develop into
a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas
of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine UNDERBODYMNTENMCE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At
least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where
mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed
in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody car washing system can do this for
you.
CHEMICAL PMNT SPOTTING
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your
vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect
in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition
within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of mini fuses, circuit breakers and maxi fuses. This greatly
reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow” one of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along
without that is the same value you need
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse. Be sure to use a fuse with the same amperage
rating number on it (ie.
lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.
