THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal
driving however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than OVERDRIVE
(@).
Here are examples for using THIRD (3) instead of
OVERDRIVE (a):
0 When driving on hilly, winding roads.
When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between gears.
0 When going down a steep hill.
SECOND (2): This position gives you more power. You
can use SECOND
(2) on hills. It can help control your
speed as
you go down steep mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes
off and on.
I NOTICE:
r
~~
Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going
slower than
65 mph (105 km/h), or you can
damage your engine. FIRST
(1): This
position gives you even more power
than SECOND
(2). You can use it on very steep hills,
or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in
FIRST (l), the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.)
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were
up against a solid
object.
You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could cause overheating and damage
the transaxle.
Use your brakes to hold your
vehicle in position on
a hill.

The cigarette lighter is located near the ashtray. Press
it all the way in and release.
It will pop back by itself
when
it’s ready to light. You may also have a lighter
on the back
of the center console near the rear seat
air outlet. Note
that power
to the cigarette lighter will shut off
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. This helps
to prevent battery drainage. For more information,
see
“Inadvertent Battery Saver” earlier in this section.
I NOTICE:
Don’t hold a cigarette 1,ighter in with your hand.

If you do, it won’t be able to
back away from the heating element when it’s
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter

the engine has overheated.
You should stop the car and
turn the engine off as soon
as possible.
A warning
chime should also sound if

SERVICE
ENGINE
SOON
Your Cadillac is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called OBD
I1 (.On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for
the life
of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. (In Canada,
OBD I1 is replaced by
Enhanced Diagnostics.) The SERVICE ENGINE SOON
light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and
service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated
by the system before any problem is apparent, which
may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed
to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.

a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine
off
for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the
oil dipstick. Prior to checking

minutes and your vehicle
is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
