8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle
counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
- 9. Tighten the wheel nuts
firmly in a criss-cross
sequence
as shown.
..
A CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to become loose
and even come off. This could lead to an accident.
Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. If you have
to replace them, be sure to get new GM original
equipment wheel nuts.
Stop somewhere as soon as
you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque wrench
to 100 Ib-ft
(I40 Nom).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage.
To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
Don’t try to put a wheel cover on your compact spare
tire.
It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover in the trunk
until you have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
I NOTICE:
Wheel covers won’t fit on your compact spare. If
you try to put a wheel cover on your compact
spare, you could damage the cover or the spare. Storing
a jack, a tire or other
equipment in the
passenger compartment
of the vehicle could
cause injury. In
a sudden stop or collision, loose
equipment could strike someone. Store all these
in the proper place.
After you’ve put the compact spare tire on your vehicle,
you’ll need to store the flat tire in your trunk. Use the
following procedure
to secure the flat tire in the trunk.
Put the flat tire in the trunk so the side that faces out
when it is on the vehicle is facing down. The full-size
tire will
not fit down into the well. Place it so the front is
in the well and the rear is out of the well.

Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that
make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake
pads are worn and new pads
are needed. The sound
may come and go
or be heard all the time your vehicle
is moving (except when you are pushing on the brake
pedal firmly).
The brake wear warning sound means that soon
your brakes won’t work well. That could lead to
an accident. When you hear the brake wear warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.
I NOTICE:
I
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes
are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help
prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect
brake pads for wear and evenly torque wheel nuts in
the proper sequence to
GM specifications.
Brake linings should always be replaced
as complete
axle sets.
See “Brake System Inspection” in the Maintenance
Schedule booklet under Part
C “Periodic Maintenance
Inspections”.
See your dealer
if the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there
is a rapid increase in pedal
travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.

Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure.
You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they‘re underinflated.
Be sure
to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tires should be rotated every
4,000 to 8,000 miles
( IO 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate your tires
as soon as possible and check
wheel alignment. Also check
for damaged tires or
wheels.
See “When It’s Time for New Tires” and
”Wheel Replacement” later
in this section for
more information. The purpose
of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for
all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation
is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services’‘
in thc Maintcnance Schedule
booklet for
schedulcd rota~io~~ inttwals.
When rotating your tires. al\vays use the con-t‘ct rotation
pattern
shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire
in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and
rear inflation pressures
as show on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel
nuts
are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in
the Index.
