How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind
of
oil you have, and some other things. Instead
of
trying to list everything here, we ask that
you
contact
your Cadillac dealer in the area where you'll be parking
your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for
that particular area.
The automatic transaxle may have either a shift lever
located on the steering column or on the console
between the seats.
There are several different positions for the shift lever.

PARK
(P):
This locks the.front wheels. It's the best
position
to use when you start the engine because your
vehicle can't move easily.
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the
shift lever is not fully
i n PARK
(P)
with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle
can
roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured.
T o
be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
leveI ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK
( P ) .
See "Shifting Into PARK
(P)"
in
the
Index. If
you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing a Trailer" in
the Index.
