With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can help on long trips. Cruise

faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A.
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Push the button at the

You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
2. Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it
there until you reach a desired speed and then

How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal
to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of c.ourse, applying the brakes
or downshifting into

soon as possible. If the brake warning light is on, follow
the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 02: This message will
appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician as
soon
as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE - 39: This message will
appear when the fuel supply
is less than four gallons
(15.2 L) and the display is turned off (digital clusters
only). A single chime will also sound when this
message is displayed.
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on
a level surface.
A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear
if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been
off for 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
the oil level, be sure
the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message will
appear
for several seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43: This message will appear
for
a few seconds when you select a speed at which
to cruise.

doors are open or ajar when this message appears. The
vehicle’s engine must be running and the transaxle not
in PARK
(P) for this message to display, A chime will
also sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater than
5 mph (8.1 km/h).
DRIVER DOOR OPEN - 140: This message will
display when the vehicle
is being shifted out of
PARK (P) with the engine running to signal that
the driver’s door
is open or ajar. A chime will also
sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater than
5 mph (8.1 kdh).
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature
is over 248°F ( 126°C). To avoid added
strain
on a hot engine turn off the climate control
system. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle
until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool
down, turn off the engine and have it serviced before
driving it again. Severe engine damage can result

Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal
or always decrease
stopping distance.
If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop. even though
you have
anti-lock brakes.

Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you.
You may hear the
anti-lock pump or motor operate. and feel the brake
pedal pulsate. but this is normal.
Your vehicle
has a traction control system that limits wheel
spin.
This is especially useful in slippely road conditions.
The system operates only
if it senses that one or both of
the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.
When
this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel
spin.
The TRACTION ENGAGED message will display on
the Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See “Driver Information
Center Messages”
in the Index. You may feel or hear the
system working, but this
is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you
to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control”
in
the Index.)
This warning light will
come
on to let you know if
there’s
a problem with your
traction control system.

See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will

especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But
you can turn the
traction control system off
