Function Check; Starter Switch Check; Check; Park Brake And P (Park) Mechanism Check - Cadillac CTS Owner's Manual

To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level
surface.
If the level is below the bottom of
the fill plug hole, on the transfer
case, some lubricant will need to be
added. Add enough lubricant to
raise the level to the bottom of the
fill plug hole. Use care not to
overtighten the fill plug.
What to Use
Refer to Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0 328 to determine what
kind of lubricant to use.
