Wiper Blade Replacement
It’s a good idea to clean or replace the wiper blade
assembly on a regular basis
or when worn. For proper
windshield wiper blade length and type
see “Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts” later in this section.
To replace the wiper blade assembly:
1. Turn the ignition key to ACCESSORY and turn the
wipers on. Position the wipers on the windshield
in
the “mid” wipe position. Then with the door open,
turn the key to
OW.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot as shown and press
down to release
the wiper blade assembly.

c4; f **I- *.: C
We don’t make tires. Your new Cadillac comes with
high-quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions about your tire warranty and
where
to obtain service, see your Cadillac Warranty
booklet for details.
A CAUTION:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are
dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause
overheating
as a result of too much friction.
You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in
the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently
to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should
be checked
when your tires are cold.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken
by a sudden
impact
-- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
See “Inflation
-- Tire Pressure” in this section
for inflation pressure adjustment
for higher
speed driving.
Inflation -- Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on
the
rear edge of the driver’s door, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than a mile.
If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph
(160’km/h) where it is legal, raise the cold inflation
pressure of each tire to
35 psi (240 Wa). When you end
this very high-speed driving, reduce the cold inflation

pressures to those listed on the Tire-Loading
Information label.
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation
is all right. It’s not. If your tires
don’t have enough
air (underinflation), you can
get the following:
0 Too much flexing
0 Too much heat
0 Tire overloading
0 Bad wear
0 Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
Unusual wear.
0 Bad handling
Rough ride
0 Needless damage from road hazards. When to
Check
Check
your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare.
tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How
to Check
Use a mod quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back
on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
( 10 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear.
If unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as
possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See
“When It’s Time for New
Tires” and “Wheel Replacement” later
in this section for
more information.
