2004 Oldsmobile Bravada overheating

Backglass Wiper Blade Replacement
SeeWindshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-52
for instructions on how to change the backglass wiper
blade. The backglass wiper blade will not lock in a
vertical position like the windshield wiper blade, so care
should be used when pulling it away from the vehicle.
Tires
Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have questions
about your tire warranty and where to obtain service,
see your GM Warranty booklet for details. For additional
information refer to the tire manufacturer’s booklet
included with your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
{CAUTION:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as a result of too much
friction. You could have an air-out and a
serious accident. See “Loading Your
Vehicle” in the Index.
Underinated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
Overinated tires are more likely to be cut,
punctured or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.

You may have an air inator kit that is located in the
glove compartment. The kit includes a 22 ft (6.7 m)
hose with three nozzle adapters.
To use the air inator attach the appropriate nozzle
adapter to the end of the hose if required. Then attach
that end of the hose to the object you wish to inate.
Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
Press and release the switch to turn the air inator on.
The indicator light will remain on when the inator is
running.
The system has an internal clock to prevent overheating.
The system will allow about ve minutes of running
time, then the compressor will stop. The indicator light
will then begin to ash. When the indicator is off,
the inator can be started again by pressing the switch.
If the compressor is still hot, it may only run for a
short time before shutting off again.
Press and release the switch to turn the inator off.
Place the inator kit tools in the pouch and store
it properly. Remove the inator hose from the outlet
during loading and unloading. Load leveling will
not function with the inator hose attached to the inator
outlet. See “Electronically Controlled Air Suspension
System” in the Index.To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs at the back of the
cover, put it in place and latch the tabs.
A continuous ashing indicator light may also indicate a
malfunction in the air suspension system. See
“Electronically Controlled Air Suspension System” in the
Index.
{CAUTION:
Inating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured.
Be sure to read the inator instructions, and
inate any object only to its recommended
pressure.
