Have you recently changed brands of fuel? Oil Pressure Light
If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel (see
“Fuel” in the Index). Poor fuel quality will cause your
engine not to
run as efficiently as designed. You may
notice
this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you
put the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on
acceleration or stumbling on acceleration. (These
conditions may go away once the engine is warmed up.)
!
This will be detected by the system and cause the light
to
turn on.
If you,experience this condition, change the fuel brand
you use. It will require at least one full
tank of the
proper fuel to
turn the light off.
If none of the above steps .have made the light turn off,
have your dealer or qualified service center check the
vehicle.
Your dealer has the proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to
fix any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed. This light tells
you
if there
could
be a problem with
your engine oil pressure.
The light goes on when you
turn your key to RUN or
STmT. It goes off once you start your engine. That’s a
check to
be sure the light works. If it doesn’t come on,
be .sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When the light
comes on and stays on, it means that
oil isn’t flowing through your engine properly. You
could
be low on oil and you might have some other
system problem.

soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.

PREMIUM UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY
The fuel gage shows
approximately how much
fuel is in the
tank. It works
only when the ignition is
in
the RUN position.
If the fuel level
is within approximately two gallons
(7.6 L) of being full, the letter F is shown. If the fuel
level
is between one and two gallons (3.8 and 7.6 L)
from being empty, the letter E is shown. If the fuel
supply gets down
to approximately one gallon
(3.8 L), the E will flash and the FUEL LEVEL VERY

to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend to
think you are going
slower than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you
must start when you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s
work
-- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part
of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a
long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready
to go. If it needs
service, have it done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll
find experienced and able service experts in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll
be ready and willing to help if you need
it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:

Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are
all windows clean inside and outside?
Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked
all levels?
Lamps: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?
Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough for long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated
to the
recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook
along your route? Should you delay your trip a short
time to avoid a major storm system?
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?
