STABILITY REDUCED message, it means there may
be a problem with your stability enhancement system.
If
you see this message, try to reset the system (stop; turn
off the engine; then start the engine again). If the
STABILITY REDUCED message still comes on,
however, it means there is a problem,
so you should see
your Cadillac dealer for service.
STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM
REMOVE IGNITION KEY
- 33: This message will
appear when the Personalized Automotive Security
System (PASS-Key
11) senses that an improper ignition
key is being used to try to start the vehicle. Check the
ignition key for damage. If it is damaged, it may need to
be replaced. If you see no damage, clean the pellet
contacts with a soft cloth or napkin. Remove the ignition
key and wait for the DIC to display WAIT
3 MINUTES.
The instrument panel cluster will then run a timer and
change the messages to WAIT
2 MINUTES, WAIT
1 MINUTE and then START CAR. When the START
CAR message is displayed, try again to start the engine.
STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATED - 42: This
message will appear when the engine has overheated.
Stop and turn the engine
off immediately to avoid severe
engine damage. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
STOP ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE - 35: If this
message appears while the engine is running, stop the
engine and do not operate
it until the cause of low oil
pressure is corrected. Severe damage to the engine can
result. A multiple chime will also sound when this message is displayed.
THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEMCAR MAY NOT RESTART
- 34: This message means there is a problem
in the Personalized Automotive Security System
(PASS-Key
11). A fault has been detected in the system
which means that the PASS-Key
I1 system is disabled
and is not protecting the vehicle. The vehicle usually
restarts, however, you may want to take your vehicle to
a proper service center before turning
off the engine.
TOP SPEED FUEL CUT-OFF - 111: This message
will appear when the PCM senses that the maximum
speed for your Cadillac has been reached. The speed
of your vehicle will decrease several mph as the fuel
supply
is cutoff. This allows your vehicle to stay in a
stable operating range.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The exit speed is usually posted.
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
be ready and willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
0

Windshield 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?

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But
do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out
of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or
so until help comes.

OWNER'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the driver's door tells you the proper size,
speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important
information about the number
of people that can be in
your vehicle and the total weight that you can carry.
This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all
options not installed in the factory.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Inflation -- Tire Pressure
“he 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
1 mile (1.6 km).
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 Pa). 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:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
