NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these
guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or slow -- for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear
and earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See “Towing a Bailer”
in the Index for more information.

fully
apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when

you cannot shift out of
PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever -- push the shift lever all the
way into
PARK (P) and release the shift lever button on the floor shift
console models as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift

(2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain 0
roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in SECOND (2) for more than five miles (8 km), or
at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), otherwise you can damage
your transaxle. Use AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (@) or
THIRD (3) as much as possible.
Don’t
shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than
65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.
FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power than SECOND (2).
You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift
lever is put in
FIRST (l), the transaxle won’t shift into FIRST (1) until
the vehicle is going slowly enough.)
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal.
This could cause overheating
and damage
the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle
in position on a hill.

right foot and push down the parking brake pedal
with your left foot. If
the ignition is
on, the brake system warning light will come on.

running, your parking brake should release. If it doesn't, you have a
parking brake problem and should have
it fixed. In the meantime, you can
manually release your parking brake as shown by the illustration below.
