Page 13 This Cadillac Mpnual is divided into major sections. Introduction How to use this M,anual. This section tells you how to use your Manual and Safety and Vehicle Damage Warnings and Symbols Section 1 Seats and Safety Belts This section tells you how to use your seats and safety belts properly.
Page 14 THE 1993 FLEETWOOD LITERATURE Please keep this literature in your Cadillac, so it will be there if you ever need it when you’re on the road. If you sell the vehicle, please leave this book in it so the new owner can use it.
Page 15 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they first receive their new vehicle. This will help you learn about the features and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and words work together to explain things quickly.
Page 16 When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different words. used the familiar words and colors that Cadillac has used for years. You'll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same colors, and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.
Page 17 Ehicle Symbols These are some of the symbols you will find on your vehicle. For example, symbols these are used on an original battery: PROTECT EYES CAUTION BY SHIELDING POSSIBLE INJURY AVOID SPARKS OR FLAMES 3yllluul3 i l l G llllyul lillll llC3C vehicle is driven: DOOR LOCK'UNLOCK...

Page 20 SECTION 1 SEATS AND SAFETY BELTS Here you’ll find information about the seats in your Cadillac your Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (“air bag”) system and how to use your safety belts properly. You can also learn about some things you should do with safety belts.
Page 21 Power Seat The control located on both front door arm rests. The front TILT switch makes the front portion of the seat cushion move up and down. The rear TILT switch makes the rear portion of the seat cushion move up and down.
Page 22 Memory Seat If your Fleetwood has this option, the control looks like this: Here’s how to make it work: You don’t need to start your vehicle yet, just make sure it is in “P” (Park). Adjust the driver’s seat the way you want it. Push the Set button.
Page 23 Reclining Front Seatback(s) CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can't do their job when you're reclined like this. when your vehicle is in motion can adjust the seatback, qress the switch orward or rearward to dperate the recliner.
Page 24 TION: ntinued) The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen.
Page 25 LumbarlHeater Seat Controls (Fleetwood Brougham) With this feature, you can change the shape of the driver’s or passenger’s seatback. Adjust the power seat control first to get the proper position. For the best adjustment, it is recommended that you first start with the “MIDDLE”...
Page 26 SAFLlTYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EVERYONE This part the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag” system. CAUTION: Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety belt properly.
Page 27 A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won't get hurt even if you're not buckled up. And some crashes can be so serious, like being hit by a train, that even buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between.

Page 31 or the instrument panel or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That's why safety belts make such good sense.

But you can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you unbuckle and get out, why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear safety...
Page 33 There are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for babies and smaller children. If a child will be riding in your Cadillac, see the section after this one, called “Children.” Follow those rules for evervone’c protection.
Page 34 DRIVER POSITION This section describes the driver’s Lap-Shoulder Belt The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it properly. 1. Close and lock the door. 2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up straight.
Page 35 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on the buckle faces upward or outward so you would be able to unbuckle it quickly if you ever had to. 3.
Page 36 The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you'd be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
Page 37 What’s wrong with this? The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way. CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash you would move forward too much, which could increase injury.
Page 38 What's wrong with this? Tf--- The belt is buckled in the wrong place. CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen.
Page 39 What's wrong with The shoulder belt shoulder at all times. CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if you wear your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which aren't as strong as shoulder bones.
Page 40 What's wrong with this? The belt is twisted across the body. You can be seriously injured by a-twisted wouldn't have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealer to fix it.
Page 41 R E S T M N T SYSTEM (AIR BAGS) This section explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR), or “air bag,” system. Your Cadillac has an air bag for the driver and for the right-front passenger. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
Page 42 Here’s the most important thing to know: CAUTION: Even with an air bag, if you’re not wearing a safety belt and crash, your injuries may be much worse. Air bags are you’re in not designed to inflate in rollovers or in rear, side or low-speed h n t a l crashes.
Page 43 Air Bag System Light There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel. The system checks itself and the light tells you if there is a problem. CAUTION: If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you start ’...
Page 44 How The Air Bag System Works Where is the air bag? The driver’s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. Your vehicle has a front passenger air bag, it is located in the instrument panel on the passenger’s side.
Page 45 vehicle@). Inflation is determined by the angle of the impact and the vehicle’s deceleration, of which vehicle damage is only one indication. Repair cost is not a good indicator of whether an air bag should have deployed. What makes an air bag inflate? In a frontal or near-frontal impact of sufficient severity, sensors strategically located on the vehicle detect that the vehicle is suddenly stopping as a result of a crash.
Page 46 vents from the bag, small particles are also vented into the passenger compartment. In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may occur in vehicles with passenger air bags because the windshield acts as a reaction surface for the inflating air bag.
Page 47 Servicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the air bag system. There are parts of the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle.
Page 48 SMETYBELT USE DURING PREGNANCY Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
Page 49 RYGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this part. The lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and start again.
Page 50 Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on the buckle faces upward or outward so you would be able to unbuckle it quickly if you ever had to.
Page 51 CENTER REAR PASSENGER POSITION Your vehicle has a rear bench seat, and someone can sit in the center position. 1. Pick up the latch plate and, in a single motion, pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. 3.
Page 52 Position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn't long enough, see "Safety Belt Extender" at the end of this section.

Page 57 CHILDREN - Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state and Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.
Page 58: Smaller Children, Use Of Lap-Shoulder Belt
,CrnaZZer Children and Babies CAUTION: Smaller children and babies should always be restrained in a child or infant restraint. The instructions for the restraint say whether it is the right type and size for your child. A very young child’s hip bones are not stay low on the hips, as it should.
Page 60 CHILD R E S T U N T S Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
Page 62 Top Strap If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your Cadillac dealer to put it in for you. you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it. Vehicles first sold in Canada have child restraint anchor Dracket hardware in the glove box, along with instructions for installing it.
Page 63 You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier section about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child restraint. 2. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions say. 3.
Page 64 To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. 5. To tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while you push...

Page 67 To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Your vehicle has a right-front passenger’s air bag.
Page 68 CAUTION: A rear-facing child restraint in the front seat could be pushed into the seatback by the right-front passenger's air bag if it inflates. A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if this happens. Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat.
Page 69 Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button faces upward or outward, so you’ll be able to unbuckle it quickly if you ever need to. 6. Pull the rest of the lap belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.

Page 71 Larger Children Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s safety belts. If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
Page 72 Children who aren't buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. Children who aren't buckled up can strike other people who are.
Page 73 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only one person at What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck? Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the...
Page 74 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’s force would then be applied right on the child’s abdomen That could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Page 75 SAFETYBELT EXTENDER If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender. It’s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you.

CAUTION: Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
Page 158 The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Dolby@ This feature automatically removes noise on Dolby encoded tapes (no button is required).

Y K O ! YOUR DRIVING AND THE ROAD Here you'll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions. We've also included many other useful tips on driving. ROAD SIGNS The road signs you see everywhere are coded by color, shape and symbols.
Page 172 Color o f Road Signs RED means STOP. It may also indicate that some movement is not allowed. Examples are DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY. RAILROAD ADVANCE CROSSING YELLOW indicates a general warning. Slow down and be careful when you see a yellow sign.
Page 173 zone, or some other potentially dangerous situation. Likewise, a yellow solid line painted on the road means SHOULDER ORANGE indicates road construction or maintenance. You’ll want to slow down when you see an orange sign, as part of the road may be closed off or torn up.
Page 174 INFORMATION HOSPITAL BLUE signs with white letters show motorists’ services. CANOEING SWIMMING BROWN signs point out recreation areas or points of historic or cultural interest. Shape o f Road Signs The shape of the sign will tell you something, too.
Page 175 An OCTAGONAL (eight-sided) sign means STOP. It is always red with white letters. A DIAMOND-shaped sign is a warning of something ahead - for example, a curve, steep hill, soft shoulder, or a narrow bridge. YIELD A TRIANGLE, pointed downward, indicates YIELD. It assigns the right-of-way to traffic on certain approaches to an intersection.
Page 176 A TRIANGULAR sign also is used on two-lane roads to indicate a NO PASSING ZONE. This sign will be on the left side of the roadway. KEEP RIGHT RECTANGULAR (square or oblong) signs show speed limits, parking regulations, give directions, and such information as distances to cities. LEFT OR THROUGH ONLY...
Page 177 Symbols on Road Signs There are many international road signs in use today. The basic message of many of these signs is in pictures or graphic svmbols. A Dicture within a circle with a diagonal line across it shows what to do.
Page 178 TRAFFIC LIGHTS We’re all familiar with traffic lights or stop lights. Often green arrows are being used in the lights for improved traffic control. On some multilane roads, green arrows light up, indicating that traffic in one or more lanes can move or make a turn.
Page 179 Many city roads and expressways, and even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic control during rush hours. A red driving in that lane at that time. A green arrow means you may drive in that lane. Look for the signs posted to warn drivers what hours and days these systems are in effect.
Page 180 DEFENSIVE DlUVTNG The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please start with a very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.’’ On city streets, rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”...
Page 181 Here’s a final bit of information about defensive driving. The most dangerous time for driving in the U.S. is very early on Sunday morning. In fact, GM Research studies show that the most and the least dangerous times for driving, every week, fall on the same day. That day is Sunday. The most dangerous time is Sunday from 3 a.m.
Page 182 According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
Page 183 DRINKING THAT WILL RESULT IN A BAC OF .05% I N THE TIME SHOWN ’P NUMBER DR!NKS plcture) BODY WEIGHT IN POUNDS The law in most U S . states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In Canada the limit is 0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower than that.
Page 184 “I’ll be careful’’ isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a need to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? A person with a higher BAC might not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.
Page 185 Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. That means you can lose control B W N G Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal.
Page 186 Most drivers treat their brakes with care. Some, however, overwork the braking system with poor driving habits. Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking with traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops.
Page 187 Anti-Lock Brakes This feature is deleted on Coach Builder limousines and funeral coach packages. Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help prevent skidding. Once the vehicle speed reaches about 5 mph (8 km/h), you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise.
Page 188 Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. The computer separately works the brakes at each front wheel and at the rear wheels.
Page 189 As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. CAUTION: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
Page 190 Traction Control System TRACTION ENGAGED Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The traction control system works at all speeds. It limits wheel spin by reducing engine torque by closing the throttle and applying the rear brakes.
Page 191 Disc Brake Wear Indicators Your Cadillac has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
Page 192 OTICE: Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair. Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something is wrong with your brakes. Rear Drum Brakes Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected.
Page 193: Steering
Braking in Emergencies Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more than even the very best braking. STEERING Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system fails to function, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
Page 194: Steering In Emergencies
-- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time for evasive action -- steering around the problem. Your Cadillac can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision.
Page 195 The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at all times. RECOVERY OFF-ROAD You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy.
Page 196 edge If the shoulder appears to be about four inches (100 mm) or more below the pavement, this difference can cause problems. If there is not enough room to pull entirely onto the shoulder and stop, then follow the same procedures.
Page 197 So here are some tips for passing: “Drive ahead.” Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations that might affect your passing patterns. doubt whatsoever about making a successful pass, wait for time. Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines. If you can see a sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your pass.
Page 198: Skidding
“overdriving” those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to your Cadillac’s three control systems. In the braking skid your wheels aren’t rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force.
Page 199 surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited. While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking (including engine braking by shifting to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide.
Page 200: Sunglasses, Wearing At Night
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlights behind you. Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. It’s hard to tell how fast the vehicle ahead is going just by looking at its taillights.
Page 201 High Beams the vehicle approaching you has its high beams on, signal by flicking yours to high and then back to low beam. This is the usual signal to lower the headlight beams. If the other driver still doesn’t lower the beams, resist the temptation to put your high beams on.
Page 202 D M N G IN THE M N Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you can’t stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll get even less traction.
Page 203 Driving too fast through large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can’t, try to slow down before you hit them. CAUTION: Wet brakes can cause accidents.
Page 204 You could find out the hard way: when you have to slow, turn, move out to pass -- or if you get hit by a gust of wind. You could suddenly find yourself out of control. Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your tires haven’t much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low.
Page 205 DRZKNG IN FOG, MISTAND HAZE Fog can occur with high humidity or heavy frost. It can be so mild that you can see through it for several hundred feet (meters). Or it might be so thick that you can see only a few feet (meters) ahead. It may come suddenly to an otherwise clear road.
Page 207 One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going.
Page 208 Obey all posted speed limits. But remember that they are for ideal road, weather and visibility conditions. You may need to drive below the posted limit in bad weather or when visibility is especially poor. Pull to the right (with care) and stop clear of intersections when you see or hear emergency vehicles.
Page 209 Switch on your turn signal, check your rearview mirrors as you move along, and glance over your shoulder as often as necessary. Try to blend smoothly with the traffic flow. Driving on the Freeway Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speed to the posted limit or to the prevailing rate if it’s slower.
Page 210 If it needs service, have it done before starting out. Of course, you’ll find experienced and able service experts in Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready and willing to help if you need it.
Page 211 Lights: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean? Tires: They are vitally important to a safe, trouble-free trip. tread good enough for long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the recommended pressure? Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook along your route? Should you delay your trip a short time to avoid a major storm system? Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?
Page 212 Then here are some tips: Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool interior. Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check your rearview mirrors frequently and your instruments from time to time.
Page 213 If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you’re planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transmission.
Page 214: Steep Hill, Parking On A
It takes longer to pass another vehicle when you’re going uphill. You’ll want to leave extra room to pass. If a vehicle is passing you doesn’t have enough room, slow down to make it easier for the other vehicle to get by. As you go over the top of a hill, be alert.
Page 215 Another part of this manual tells how to use your parking brake (see “Parking Brake” in the Index). But on a mountain or steep hill, you can do one more thing. You can turn your front wheels to keep your vehicle from rolling downhill or out into traffic.
Page 216 If there is curb when you’re parking uphill on the left side of a one-way street, your wheels should be turned to the left. Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission) If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P” (Park) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transmission.
Page 217 “P” (Park). WINTER DRWTNG Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your Cadillac in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. Snow tires can help in loose snow, but they may give you less traction on ice than regular tires.
Page 218: Snow Or Ice, Driving On
Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if you will be driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a piece of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags to help provide traction.
Page 219: Slippery Surfaces, Driving On
What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction freezing (320F; O O C ) and freezing rain begins to fall. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there.
Page 220: Snowstorm, If You're Caught In A Bad
appear in shaded areas where the sun can’t reach: around clumps of trees, behind buildings, or under bridges. Sometimes the surface of a curve or an overpass may remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear. If you see a patch of ice ahead of you, brake before you are on not to brake while you’re actually on the ice, and avoid sudden steering maneuvers.
Page 221 CAUTION: Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill you. You can’t see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle your exhaust pipe.

Page 223 your passengers. So please read this section carefully safety and that before you pull a trailer. Load-pulling components such as the engine, transmission, wheel assemblies, and tires are forced to work harder against the drag added weight. The engine is required to operate at relatively higher speeds and under greater loads, generating extra heat.

Page 226 Safety Chains You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer.
Page 227 Following Distance Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking and sudden turns. Passing You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Page 228 Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer work well. On a long uphill grade, shift down and reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 kmih) to reduce the possibility of engine and transmission overheating.
Page 229 Maintenance when Trailer Towing Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more on especially important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belt, cooling system, and brake adjustment.

CAUTION: Using a match near a battery can cause battery gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this, and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight if you need more light.
Page 235 CAUTION: Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts once the engines are running. 7. Don’t let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
Page 236 10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a while. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service. 12. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch each other or any other metal.
Page 237 TOWNG YOUR CXDILLAC Try to have a GM dealer or a professional towing service tow your Cadillac. The usual towing equipment is a sling-type, or a wheel-lift, or car carrier tow truck. If your vehicle has been changed or modified since it was factory-new by adding aftermarket items like fog lamps, aero skirting, or special tires and wheels, these instructions and illustrations may not be correct.
Page 238 When the towing service arrives, let the manual contains detailed towing instructions and illustrations. The operator may want to When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key off. The steering wheel should be clamped in a straight-ahead position, with a clamping device designed for towing service.
Page 239 CAUTION: A vehicle can fall from a car carrier if it isn’t properly secured. This can cause a collision, serious personal injury and vehicle damage. The vehicle should be tightly secured with chains or steel cables before it is transported. Don’t use substitutes (ropes, leather straps, canvas webbing, etc.) that can be cut by sharp edges underneath the towed vehicle.

Page 251 IF A TIRE GOES FLAT It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you maintain your tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likely to leak out slowly. But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a few tips about what to expect and what to do: If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle toward that side.
Page 252 CAUTION: Changing a tire can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over you or other people. You and they could be badly injured. Find a level place to change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle from moving: Put the shift lever in “P”...

Page 268 You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain detergents and oxygenates, and if they have been reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions. FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTMES If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuel may be hard to find.
Page 269 FILLING YOUR TANK CAUTION: Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently, and that can cause very bad injuries. Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or if you’re refueling your vehicle. Keep smoking materials away from gasoline. If you’re refueling your tank using a hydrocarbon recovery nozzle, the fuel pump may shut off before the fuel capacity of your tank reaches full.
Page 270 take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). CAUTION: If you get gasoline on you and then something ignites it, you could be badly burned. Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather.

Page 272 CAUTION: An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any underhood electric fan. CAUTION: Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire. These include liquids like oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer and other fluids, and plastic or rubber.
Page 273 Turn off the engine and give the oil a few minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level. Pull out the dipstick slightly. Pinch the end of the dipstick tube as you remove the dipstick to wipe the oil from it.
Page 274 When to Add Oil: If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But must use the right kind. This section explains what kind of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications”...
Page 275 What Kind of Oil to Use: Look for three things: “SG” must be on the oil container, either by itself or combined with other quality designations, such as “SG/CC,” “SG/CD,” “SF,SG,CC,” ( M I ) etc. These letters show American Petroleum Institute levels of quality.

CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous.
Page 285 Adding Coolant To Add Coolant: If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recoverv tank. Turning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly.
Page 286 RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP When you replace your radiator pressure cap, an AC' cap is recommended. THERMOSTAT Engine coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant reaches a preset temperature. When you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat is recommended.

Page 289 There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is leaking out of the brake system.
Page 290 Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to check your brake fluid. See “Periodic Maintenance Inspections” in the Index. To Check Brake Fluid: You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. Just look at the windows on the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid levels should be above “MIN.”...
Page 291 BATTERY Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom’ battery. You never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time for recommend a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the catalog number shown on the original battery’s label.
Page 292: Storing Your Vehicle
Vehicle Storage If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the black, negative (-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery from running down. CAUTION: Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you aren’t careful.

Page 307 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 accident. See “”Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index. Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded tires.
Page 308 When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. Don't forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi (420 kPa). How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure, especially if you have radial tires -- which may look properly inflated even if they're underinflated.
Page 309 Tire Inspection and Rotation To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index. Use this rotation pattern. FRONT with compact spare After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label.
Page 310 When It’s Time for You need a new tire if You can see the indicators at three places around the tire. You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber. The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric.
Page 311 If you ever replace your tires with those not having make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires. CAUTION: Mixing tires could cause you to lose control, while driving. If you mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted tires), the vehicle may not handle properly, and you could have a crash.
Page 312 Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction. Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Page 313 If the wheel leaks air out, replace it (except some aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer if any these conditions exist. Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Page 314 Vcsd Redacement Wheels CAUTION: Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used or how many miles it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly and cause an accident. If you have to replace a wheel use a m GM orininn1 equipment wheel.
Page 315 Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed space. When you use anything in a container to clean your Cadillac, be sure to follow the instructions. And always open your doors or wiridows when you're cleaning the inside.
Page 316: Stains, Removing
Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl with a clean, damp cloth. Your Cadillac dealer has two GM cleaners -- a solvent-type spot lifter and a foam-type powdered cleaner. They will clean normal spots and stains very well.
Page 317 Here are some cleaning tips: Always read the instructions soon as you can -- before they set. Clean up stains Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are stubborn. Use solvent-type cleaners in a well-ventilated area only.
Page 318: Solvent-Type Cleaner On Fabric
USING SOLVE’NT-TJTE CLEANER ON F m M C First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all. Some spots and stains will clean off better with just water and mild soap. If you need to use it, then: Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife or scraper.
Page 319 Combination Stains: Like candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, chili sauce and unknown stains. Carefully scrape off excess stain, then clean with cool water and allow to dry. If a stain remains, clean it with solvent-type cleaner. CLEANING WIWZ OR LEATHER Just use warm water and a clean cloth. Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt.
Page 320 CARE OF SAFETYBELTS Keep belts clean and dry. CAUTION: Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may severely weaken them. In a crash they might not be able to provide adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Page 321 High pressure cadillac washes may cause water to enter your vehicle. Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac may be necessary to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materials” in the Index.)
Page 322 WHITE SIDEWALL TIIRES Your Cadillac dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use a stiff brush with it. WEATHERSTHPS These are places where glass or metal meets rubber. Silicone grease there will make them last longer, seal better, and not squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six months.
