What to ,Add
When
you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake
fluid
-- such as Delco Supreme 11@ (GM Part
No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only,
and always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap before removing
it.
A CAUTION:
With the wrong kind of fluid in your brake
system, your brakes
may not work well, or they
may not even work
at all. This could cause a
crash. Always use the proper brake fluid.
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake
system parts. For example, just
a few drops of
mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake system
parts
so badly that they’ll have to be replaced. Don’t
let someone put in the wrong kind
of fluid.
NOTICE: (Continued) NOTICE:
(Continued)
If you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s painted
surfaces, the paint finish can
be damaged. Be
carefbl not to spill brake
fluid on your vehicle.
If you do, wash it off immediately. See
“Appearance Care” in the Index.
Brake Wear
Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make
a
high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are
worn
and new pads are needed. The sound may come and
go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except
when you are pushing on the brake
pedal fmly).
A CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound means that sooner
or later your brakes won’t work well. That could
lead to
an accident. When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.

When It’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s
1 A time for-new tires is to
check the treadwear indicators,
which will
appear when
your tires have
only 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or
less
of tread remaining.
+- You need a new tire if any of the following statements
are true:
c
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
You can see cord or fabric showing through the
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
tire’s rubber.
enough
to show cord or fabric.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge
or split.
0 The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that
can’t be repaired
well because of the size or location
of the damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at
the Tire-Loading Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire Performance Criteria Specification
(TPC Spec)
number on each tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same
TPC Spec number. That way
your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed
to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating,
traction, ride and other things during normal service on your vehicle.
If your tires have an all-season tread
design, the TPC number will be followed
by an “MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those not having a
TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size,
load range, speed rating and construction type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
