Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows
approximately how
much fuel is in your
tank. It works only
when the ignition is
in
the RUN position.

If the fuel level is within approximately one gallon (3.8 liters) of being full,
the letter
F is shown.
If the fuel level is between one and two gallons (3.8 and 7.6 liters) from
being empty, the letter
E is shown. If the fuel supply gets down to
approximately one gallon (3.8 liters), the E will flash and the FUEL
LEVEL VERY LOW message will appear in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
(On the analog fuel gage, the FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW
message will also appear.)
Here are a few concerns
some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of
these situations are ilormal and indicate that nothing is wrong with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads E
It takes more (or less) gas to fill the tank than the gage said. For
example, the gage read
8 GALLONS, but it took more (or less) than
the tank’s remaining capacity to
fill it.
The gage may change when you turn, stop or speed up.

Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all the way to
preserve the heat. Start the engine again and repeat this only when you
feel really uncomfortable from the cold. But do it as little as possible.
Preserve
the fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get out
of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises every half hour or so
until help comes.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found
on the driver's door tells you
the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for the
tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about the
number
of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you
can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes
the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all options
not installed in the
factory.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And,
if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
176 pounds (80 kg) in your trunk.

NOTICE:
Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result
in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer
correctly, follow the advice
in this part, and see your Cadillac
dealer for important information about towing a trailer with
your vehicle.
To identify what the vehicle trailering capacity is for your vehicle, you
should read the information in “Weight
of the Trailer” that appears later
in this section. But trailering
is different than just driving your vehicle by
itself. Trailering means changes in handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering takes correct equipment, and it has
to be used
properly.
That’s the reason for this part.
In it are many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules. Many
of these are important for your
safety and that
of your passengers. So please read this section carefully
before you pull
a trailer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Three important considerations have to do with weight:
Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It should never weigh more than
1,000 pounds (450 kg) total, including
the load. But even that can be too heavy.
It depends
on how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outside temperature and how much your vehicle is used
to
pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend on any special
equipment that
you have on your vehicle.
You can ask your dealer for our trailering information or advice, or you
can write us at Cadillac Consumer Relations Center, Cadillac Motor Car
Division, 30009 Van Dyke,
EO. Box 9025, Warren, MI 48090-9025.
In Canada, write to General Motors
of Canada Limited, Customer
Assistance Center, 1908 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, Ontario
L1H 8P7.
Weight of the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to measure
because it affects the total capacity weight of your vehicle. The capacity
weight includes the curb weight
of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in
it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. And if you will tow a
trailer, you must subtract the tongue load from your vehicle’s capacity
weight because your vehicle
will be carrying that weight, too. See
“Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index for more information about your
vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

Wiben to Add Oil
If ,the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil.
For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications” in the Index.
- But you must use the right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use.
Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has so much oil that the

Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type
(P Metric) tires must
conform
to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to
give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you
will not need to have your wheels aligned again.
However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your
vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to
be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted or corroded. If
wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air, replace
it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac
dealer
if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and
be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
- If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
Cadillac model.
