NEW WHICLE t4BREM-IN”
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t turn it, be sure
it is all the
way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch.
If none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Cadillac is moving. If you
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to PARK
(P) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
To start your Northstar V8 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to
START When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
- -- 2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in START for about three
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds
between
each try to help avoid draining your battery.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your left headlamp and left taillamp may be on as you start your
engine, but the right headlamp and taillamp won’t. This provides some
light as
you start but doesn’t drain your battery as much.
3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as
you hold the key in START
for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the fuel injection system operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you
don’t, your engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it without damaging your vehicle.
See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
DMNG THROUGHDEEP STANDING
WATER
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine’s air intake and badly
damage your engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody
of your vehicle. If you can’t avoid
deep puddles
or standing water, drive through them very slowly.

both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired
button on the HomeLink
TM Transmitter. Continue to hold both
buttons through Step
4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light on the HomeLink“ -
Transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the HomeLink” Transmitter has been
programmed. Release both buttons once
the light starts to flash rapidly. -
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink TM Transmitter, make
sure that you have followed the directions exactly as described and that the
batteries in the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate your hand-held transmitter end over end and try again.
The HomeLink TM Transmitter may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If
you cannot program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult your
Cadillac dealer or call
1-800-355-35 15.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in case you need to -
erase and reprogram the HomeLink TM transmitter. -1
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your hand-held transmitter
may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming -
from one of these transmitters, the HomeLink indicator light may prompt
you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter
with a series of double blinks.
After you re-activate your hand-held transmitter,
the HomeLink TM light
should flash rapidly.
If it flashes slowly, continue to periodically re-activate
your hand-held transmitter
until the light flashes rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press the appropriate button on the HomeLink TM Universal Transmitter.
The red light comes
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the HomeLink” Transmitter
may differ from your hand-held transmitter and from one channel to another.

Emsing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside
buttons until the red light begins to flash. Individual channels cannot be
erased,
but can be reprogrammed using the procedure for programming
the transmitter explained earlier.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Brake System Warning Light
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
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.
