1998 CADILLAC SEVILLE stop start

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse” safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects
are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Turn the ignition
off while programming the transmitter.
Follow these steps to program up to three channels:
1.
2.
3.
If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the light on the transmitter begins to flash
rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and erases any previous settings for all three channels.
Decide which one of the three channels you want
to program.
Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
front surface of the universal transmitter
so that you
can still see the amber light.
4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through Step
5.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the light on
the universal transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and
try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your dealer.

Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake sy; m is divided into
two parts.
If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
BRAKE
This light should come on
briefly when you turn the
ignition key to
ON. If it
doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed
so it will be ready to
warn you if there’s
a problem.
If the light comes on while
you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
,a CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to
an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve
pulled
off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.

Traction Control System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light(s) will
come on when you start
your engine and may stay
on for several seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to
OFF. Or, if the
light comes
on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition
off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock
brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System
Warning Light” in the Index.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
ON. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
TRACTION
CONTROL
United States Canada
This warning light should come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning light doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a
problem.
If it stays on, or comes on when you’re
driving, there may be a problem with your traction
control system and your vehicle may need service.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system warning light may come
on
for the following:
If there’s a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control system
will turn off and the warning light will come on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the traction control system is affected by an
engine-related problem, the system will turn off and
the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
This light tells you that the
engine has overheated. You
should stop the car and turn
the engine off as soon
as possible.
A warning chime should also sound if this light comes
on.
As a check, the light should come on for a few
seconds when
you start your engine. In the section
“Problems on the Road,” this manual explains what to
do. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States
- c.w IF -TEMP
Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
If the gage pointer moves into the red area, the engine is too hot.
That reading means the same thing
as the warning
light
-- the engine coolant has overheated. In the section
“Problems on the Road,” this manual explains what to
do. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the Light Is Flashing
The following may prevent more serious damage to
your vehicle:
0 Reducing vehicle speed.
0 Avoiding hard accelerations.
0 Avoiding steep uphill grades.
If the Light Is On Steady
You may be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle?
If
so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install
the cap. The diagnostic system can determine
if the fuel
cap has been left
off or improperly installed. A loose or
missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light off.
Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.
If the light stops flashing and remains on steady, see “If
the Light
Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to
do so,
stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle.
Turn the key
off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the
engine.
If the light remains on steady, see “If the Light
Is On Steady” following. If the light is still flashing,
follow
the previous steps, and drive the vehicle to your
dealer or qualified service center for service. If
so, your electrical system may be wet.
The condition
will usually be corrected when the electrical system
dries out.
A few driving trips should turn the light off.
Are you low on fuel?
As your engine starts to run out
of fuel, your engine may
not run as efficiently as designed since small amounts of
air are sucked into the fuel line causing a misfire. The
system can detect this. Adding fuel should correct this
condition. Make sure to install the fuel cap properly. It
will take a few driving trips to turn the light off.
Have you recently changed brands of fuel?
