Power Steering - Cadillac BLS Owner's Manual

The foot brake and handbrake are self-
adjusting.
It is not possible to detect, through abnormal
pedal or handbrake lever travel, whether the
braking lining is worn and needs replacing.
It is therefore essential that brake lining be
checked regularly, as specified in the
service programme.
NOTICE
Avoid spilling brake fluid onto paintwork,
since it can cause corrosion damage.
Braking lining replacement should be
entrusted to a workshop. We recom-
mend that you contact an authorised
Cadillac workshop.

Power steering

Check the level of the power steering fluid in
the reservoir regularly, in accordance with
the service programme.
The wheels should point directly forwards
during this check.
Clean round the cap before unscrewing it.
Wipe the dipstick. To check the level, screw
down the cap completely and then remove
it again.
The oil level should lie between the MAX
and MIN marks when the oil temperature is
about +20 °C. If the oil is colder, the level
may be lower, and at a higher temperatures
the level may be higher.
Top up with "CHF 11S power steering fluid"
or "CHF 202".
