- remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.
0
0 When the engine compartment is
hot, the level
should be at the
HOT mark.
When the engine compartment is
cool, the level
should be at the
FULL COLD
mark.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
,- inspected and repaired.
What to Add
r Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to

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.

- -c
- --
c-
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare. 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 if 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 (10 030 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.

One way to tell when
it’s time for new tires is
to check the treadwear
indicators, which will
appear when your tires
have
only 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) or less of
tread remaining.
You need a new tire
if
You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire.
You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD AND WIPER BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with
GM Windshield Cleaner,
Bon-Ami Powder@
(GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when
worn.
WEATHERSTMPS
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR
CADILLAC
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your Whicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by
washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
