To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your
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.
When you move out of
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), if your engine is
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.
Pull on the manual
release lever which
is
located on the driver's
side under the
instrument panel and
above the parking
brake.

Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system
is divided into two
parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part
can still work and stop
you.
For good braking,
though,
you need both
parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
One of these lights should come on briefly as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully. You may notice that
the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
The brake system warning light will also come
on when you set your
parking brake, and it will stay
on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you
have
a brake problem.

ANTI-
LOCK (0 ABS)
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come on when you start
your engine and may stay on
for several seconds. That’s normal. If the
light doesn’t come on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there
is a problem.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition
off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays
on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service.
If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s
a problem with your
regular brakes.
See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.
Traction Disabled Message

_L-.
This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears
immediately after starting, it is possible that the generator can still
recharge the battery. The battery should recharge after driving a few miles
and the message should go out.
If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately to
-~ determine the cause of this problem. To help the generator recharge the
battery quickly you can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning
off your accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the Driver
Information Center by toggling the INFORMATION button. The normal
range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts.

CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47
~- This message will appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
your maintenance schedule booklet
for the proper fluid and change
intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID - 37
This message is displayed to inform the driver that the brake reservoir
fluid level
is low. Check the brake reservoir level and add as needed. Have
the brake system serviced by
a Cadillac technician as soon as possible. If
the brake warning light is on, follow the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 04
This message will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant.
Have the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician
as soon as
possible.

Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking skid.
ANTI-
LOCK (0 ABS)
This light on the instrument panel will come on briefly when you start
your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and begin to drive away, you may hear a
momentary motor or clicking noise.
And you may even notice that your
brake pedal moves a little while this is going on. This is the
ABS system
testing itself.
If there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake system, the
anti-lock brake system warning light will stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate
but stay in the right lane and don’t get too close. Time your move
so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other
lane. If the way is clear to pass, you
will have a “running start” that
more than makes up
for the distance you would lose by dropping back.
And if something happens
to cause you to cancel your pass, you need
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
take care that someone isn’t trying
to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember
to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving
out of the right lane to pass. When you
are far enough ahead
of the passed vehicle to see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back
into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirror is
convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from
you than it really is.)
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly. Even though the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to
turn.
0 If you’re being passed, make it easy for the following driver to get
ahead
of you. Perhaps you can ease a little to the right.
