1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE maintenance reset

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine LOW OIL LEVEL - 36
For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be -
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has been
off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check
your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine Oil”
in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in your maintenance schedule booklet. After an
oil
change the Oil Life Index must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the
Index on how to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248” F (126O C). To avoid added strain on a hot engine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle
until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off your
engine and have
it serviced before driving it again. Severe engine damage
can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the
Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Oil Life Indicator may say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written
record
of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more

If you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you
should change the oil right away (certainly within 200 more miles
[320 km]).
The system should indicate to change the oil between
3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km), but it may even indicate to
change
it before 3,000 miles under very severe conditions. It all depends
on your driving patterns. If it’s been 7,500 miles (12 500 km) the system
indicates
to change the oil.
-~ your oil life left and you should consider changing your engine oil.
There are two things the system
doesn’t do:
It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in a
dusty area, you should change your
oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or
three months (whichever comes first) unless the display says to change
it even sooner than that.
-- It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check for
that.
To see how, see “Engine Oil” in the Index.
-- When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do this, display
the
OIL LIFE INDEX by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle
fluid to use.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough
of the proper fluid to bring the
level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the dipstick hole to
bring it to the proper level. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less
than a pint (OSL).
Don’t ove@ZZ. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is made
especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other
than DEXRON@-I11 is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
the way.
How to Reset Transaxle Fluid Change Indicator
-.
Your vehicle is equipped with a transaxle fluid change indicator. A
CHANGE TRANS FLUID message will display on the Information
Center when the powertrain computer determines that the transaxle fluid
-
needs to be changed or at each 100,000 miles (160 000 km) interval,
whichever occurs first. When this message appears, change the transaxle
fluid and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
1. Turn the key ON but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OFF and REAR DEFOG buttons on the climate
control simultaneously until the
TRANS FLUID RESET message
appears in the Information Center (between five and
20 seconds).
