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
If this message is displayed, there’s a problem with your traction control
system and your vehicle needs service. When this message is displayed,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

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.

e-
This message will be displayed if a problem is noted in the Traction
Control System. Have your vehicle serviced as
soon as possible.
TRANS FLUID RESET - 48
With the engine not running and the ignition ON, press and hold the OFF
and REAR DEFOG buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET message
appears in the Information Center (between five and
20 seconds).
TURN SIGNAL ON - 20
This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile, that you have your
turn signal
on.
TRUNK OPEN - 24
This message indicates that your trunk is open when the ignition is ON.
VERY LOW REFRIGERANT A/C COMPRESSOR OFF - 12
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is low enough to cause damage to the A/C
compressor.
To avoid damage, the A/C compressor automatically turns off
and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from AUTO
to ECON and remain there. Have your A/C system serviced if this
message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering
is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability
and parking ease. As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is
also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount
of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual-like
steerin.e feel
for maxirnu.m control and enhanced vehicle stability.
