1996 CADILLAC SEVILLE wiper fluid

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Windshield Washer
I A CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
Press and hold the PUSH paddle to wash the windshield.
Release the paddle when you have enough fluid.
The
wipers will clear the windshield and either stop or return
to your preset speed.
LOW WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the DIC
when the washer fluid reaches a low level.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad
mud splash can block your vision and you could hit
another vehicle
or go off the road. Check the washer
fluid level often.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 h/h) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can help on long trips. Cruise
control does not
work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 km/h).
Cruise control shuts off when you apply your brakes.

Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not 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
bc. ready and willing to help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:

Wilzdshield 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?

Keep belts clean and dry.
I
I A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may
severely weaken them. In a crash they might
not be
able to provide adequate protection. Clean safety
belts only
with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM
Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner
will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may
cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be scraped
off later.
If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of
the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary license should not be attached across the
defogger grid.
Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield
and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax
or other material may be on the blade
or windshield.
Clean the outside
of the windshield with GM
Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part
No. 105001 1). The windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with
a cloth
soaked in full-strength windshield washer solvent. Then
rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should
be checked on a regular basis and
replaced when
worn.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with
a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet.)
