Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Shoulder Belt Tightness Adjustment
Your car has a shoulder belt tightness adjustment
feature. If the shoulder belt seems too tight, adjust it
before you begin to drive.
1. Sit well back in the seat.
2. Start pulling the shoulder belt out.
4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a
slight clickmg sound. If you don’t, the adjustment
feature won’t set, and you’ll have to start again.
3. Just before it reaches the end, give it a quick pull.
5. Now you can add a small mount of slack. Lean
forward slightly, then sit back.
If you’ve added more
than
1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the shoulder belt
out as you did before and start again.
If
you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull
out the shoulder belt, the belt will become tight again.
If
this happens, you can reset it.

Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake.

the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 Wh) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from
ON to
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.

release
the switch. (To increase your speed in very small

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). The
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your Cadillac Brougham has a tamper-resistant
odometer.
If your odometer displays ERROR, someone
has probably tampered with it.
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a
new odometer installed. The new odometer should be
programmed to the same mileage as the old one.
If it
can’t be, then it is set at zero, but a label on the driver’s
door must show the old reading and when the new one
was installed.
Trip Odometer
You can tell how far you’ve
gone since you last set it
back to zero.
To reset, press
the button.

You can change the display

system, this light will
come on when you start
your engine and may stay
LOCK ANT‘- (e) That’s on for several normal. seconds.
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. The
anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also
come on when you are driving with a compact spare tire.
If this happens, the light means you won’t have
anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a
full-size tire. If the warning light stays on after you
replace the compact spare with a full-size tire, or if it
comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.
