1997 CADILLAC CATERA ignition

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ueanlng may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
It is normal for the cassette to eject while cleaning.
Insert the cassette at least six times to ensure
thorough cleaning.
Some cleaning cassettes or CD adapter kits may appear
as a broken tape.
If the cleaning cassette is ejected
immediately from the tape player, follow these steps for
the TAPE CLEAN OVERRIDE feature:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the SOURCE button for three
seconds. After three seconds, the tape icon will flash
indicating the cut tape feature is now turned off.
4. Turn the radio on and insert the cleaning cassette (or
the CD adapter kit).
5. Eject the tape after the tape player has been cleaned.
When the cleaning cassette has been ejected, the broken
tape detection feature is active again.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject and, it may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality
may degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette
tape is in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc
is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.

Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with the
ignition
off is dangerous. Your brakes will have to
do all the work
of slowing down. They could get
so hot that they wouldn't work well. You would
then have poor braking or even none going down
a hill.
You could crash. Always have your engine
running and your vehicle in gear when you
go downhill.
Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down
to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engine
and transmission, and you can climb the hill better.
Stay in your own lane when driving
on two-lane
roads in hills or mountains. Don't swing wide or cut
across the center
of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay in your own lane.
As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could be
something in your lane, like a stalled car or an accident.
You may see highway signs on mountains that warn
of
special problems. Examples are long grades, passing or
no-passing zones,
a falling rocks area or winding
roads. Be
alert to these and take appropriate action. Here are some
tips for winter driving:
0 Have your Catera in good shape for winter.
You may want to put winter emergency supplies in
your trunk.

3.
Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection
you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Catera and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter. Turn
off all lamps that aren’t needed as well
as the radios. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries. In addition, it could save the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. On the Catera.
you’ll
also need to open the “use box cover to
access the positive
(+) terminal on the battery.
I ’ A CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you.
Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
