If you slam the dooron it, you can damage both the belt and your ve.hicle. i r t r P n SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE R E S T M N T SYSTEM (SIR) This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint(SIR), or air bag, system. Your Cadillac has two air bags -- one air bag for thedriver and anotherair bag for the right front passenger. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . C. .. c 1-23 How the Air Bug System Works 1-24 Where is the air bag? The driver's air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passsngor's air baq is i n the instrument panel011 the passenger's side. L. When should an air bag inflate? The air bag is designed t o inflatc in moderate to scverc frontal or newfrontal crashes. Thc air bag w i l l inflate only if the impact speed is above tllc system's dcsigned "threshold Icvzl." If y o u r vehicle goes straight i n t o a wal t h a t docsn't nwvc' or deform. thc thresl~oldlevel is about 0 t o 15 mph (14 t o 24 km/h). The threshold level czm v a v , however, with spccific vehicle design, so that it can be somewhat above ;r below this range. If your vehicle strikes somethingthat will move or deform, such a s a parked car, the thresholdlevel w i l l be higher. The air hag is not designed to inflate i n rollovers? side impacts, 01rear impacts, because inflation would not help the occupant. In any particular crash,n o one can say whether an air bag should have inflated simply because of the damage to a vehicle or because of what the repair costs were. Inflation is determined by the angle o f the impact and the vehicle's deceleration. Vchicle damage *isonly one indication of this. c. 1-25 What makes an air bag inflate? In a frontal or near-frontal impact of sufficient severity. the air bag sensing system detects that thevehicle is suddenly stopping as a result of a crash. The sensing system triggers a chemical reaction of the sodium azide sealed in the inflator. The reaction produces nitrogen gas, which intlates the air bag. The inflator, air bag, and related hardware are a l l part o f the air bag modules packed inside the steering wheel and i n the instrument panel in front of the right front passenger. How does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontalor near-frontal collisions: even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel.The air bag supplements the protectionprovided by safcty belts. Air bags distribute the forceo f the Impact more cvcnly over the occupant's upper body, stopping the occupani. more gradually. But air bags would not help you in. many types of collisions. including rotlovers and rear and side impacts. primarily beca.use an. occupant's 1not.iorris not toward the air bagAir bags c. should never be regarded as anything more than a supplement: t o sa.t.'ety belts. and, then ody ill nloderate 1.0w w r t lronta! or nt';lr-trot?tal collisions.

See “Driver Position:” earlier in this section. When the lap portion of the belt is pulled o u t all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it go back a l l the way and start again. Be sure to use the correct buckle when buckling your lap-shoulder belt.If you find that the latch plate will not go fully into the buckle, see if you are using the buckle for the center passenger position.

That includcs infants and all children smaller than adultsize. 111 fact, the law i n every state i n the United States and i n ev21-yCanadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Smaller Children and Babies M P I r P P r I ............................... . . . . . . . . CHILD RESTRAINTS Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You mav find thes;: instructions on the restraint itself or i n a booklet. o r both. Thesc restraints use the belt system i n your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within the reitraint to help rcduce the chance o f pzrsonal injury. The instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will show you how to do that. Where to Put the Restraint r 1 r r f r n r Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child restraint properly. Keep in mind that an unsecuredchild restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure peoplein the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle -- even when no child is in it. 1-41 a Top Strap If your child restraint has a top strap,it should be anchored. 1 1 P P Your deafer can obtain tht: hardware kit and instali i t ior yo^, 01' yolr ma! install. it yourseii' ushg t k instructions provided ir?the l kit.

The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for a n adult or larger child passenger. - Larger Children r ! i Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear thevehicle's safety belts. r i 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 restrainta shoulder belt cat1 provide. Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrainedin the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly. CI 0 Children who aren't buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. 0 Children who aren't buckled up can strike other people who are. 1-5 1 fl c Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, hut the child is so small that the shoulder belt is vet7 close to the child’s face or neck‘! Wherever the child sits. the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the child‘s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash. 1-53 SAFETY BELT 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. Whenyou go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extenderwill be long enough foryou. The extender will be just for you, and just for the seat in vour vehicle that YOU choose. Don't let someone else, use it, and use it o i l y for the seatit k made to fit. To wear it?just attach it t o thc regular safcty belt. CHECKING YOUR R E S T M N T SYSTEMS Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder svstenls are working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged rcstraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired. Torn or frayed belts may not protect you i n a crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is turn o r frayed. get a new one right away.

For good braking, though, V ~ L mI e d both parts wo"rking well. L- If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your brake svstem inspected right away. This light should come on brieflv as vou start the vehicle. if it doesn't come on then, have it fixed so i acceleration) don't have enough friction where the tires meet the road to dowhat the driver has asked. In any emergency, don't give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek an escape route or area of less danger. In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid existing conditions, and by most skids by taking reasonable care suited to not "overdriving" those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond t o your Cadillac's three control systems. In the braking skid your wheels aren't rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, toomuch speed or steeringin a curve causes tiresto slip and lose cornering force. Andin the acceleration skid too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. A cornering skid is best handled by easing your footoff the accelerator pedal. Remember: Any traction control system helps avoid onlythe acceleration skid. If your traction controlsystem is off?then an acceleration skid is also best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal. If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the vehicle to go. If you start steering quickly enough, your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a second skid if it occurs. Of course, tractionis reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or othermaterial is on the road. Forsafety, you'll want to slow down and adjust your driving to these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited. 4-15 While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try Vour best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration?or braking (including engine brakingby shifting to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could causethe tires to slide. You may not realize the surfdce is slippery until your vehicle is skidding. Leain t o recognize warning clues-- such as enough water, ice or packed snow on the road t o make a “mirrored surface”-- and slow down when you have any doubt. Remember: Any anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid. L. DRIVING AT NIGHT Night driving is more dangerous thanday driving. One reason is that some drivers arelikely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. 0 Drive defensively. 0 Don’t drink and drive. 4-16 . I 0 0 0 0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps behind you. Since you can‘t see a s well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can light up only so much road ahead. In remote areas, watch for animals. If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. Night Vision No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase. A50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. What you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will have less trouble adjusting t o night. But if you’re driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may cut down o n glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot of things invisible. You can be temporarily blinded bv approaching lights. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eves to readjust to the dark. When YOU are faced with severe glare (as frim a driver who doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into the approachinglights. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean -- inside and out. Glare atnight is made much worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of the glass can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly. Remember thatyour headlamps light up far less of a roadway whenyou are in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving; that way, it’s easier to pick out dimly lighted objects. Justas your headlamps should be checked regularly for properaim, so should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night blindness -- the inability to see in dim light -- and aren’t even aware of it. 4- 3.7 D M N G IN THE RAIN Rain and wet roads can meandriving trouble. On a wet road you can't stop, accelerate orturn 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. It's d w a ~ wise s to go slower and be cautious if rain starts tofall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes ;u'e tuned for driving on dry pavcment. The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even if your windshield wiper blades are in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the road. and cven peoplc walking. It's wise to keep vour wiping quiptnent i n good shape and keep your windshield wash& tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or when strips of rubber start to separatc from the inserts. c. 3- 18 b 4 4-19 Hydrupluning Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. 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. It can happen if a l o t of water is standing on the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone poles, or other vehicles, and raindrops ‘‘dimple’‘ the water‘s surface, there could be hydroplaning. Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There just isn‘t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down when it is raining. Some Other Rainy Weather Tips 0 Turn on your low beam headlamps -- not just your parking lamps -- to help make you more visible to others. Besides slowing down, allow some extra following distance. And be especially careful when you passanother vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted by road spray. Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See “Tires”in the Index.) 4-20 CITYDRIVING P r I P I r One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out forwhat the other drivers are doing and pay attention totraffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Gct a city map and pian your trip into anunknown part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. a Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time and energy. (Seethe next part, “Freeway Driving.”) 0 F i a Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corneris busy enough toneed it. When a light turns green, and just before you start tomove, check both ways for vehicles that have not cleared the intersection ormay be running the red light. P 4-21 FREEWAYDRM-NG Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway drivingis: Keep upwith traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are driving. Too-fastor too-slow drivingbreaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the left lane on a freeway asa passing lane. At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway. If you have a clear view of the freeway asyou drive along theentrance ramp, you should beginto check traffic.Try to determine where you expect to blend with the flow. Try to merge into the gap at closeto the prevailing speed. Switch on your turn signal, check your mirrors and glance over your shoulder as often as necessary.Try to blend smoothlywith the traffic flow. Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speedto the posted limit or to the prevailing rate if it’s slower. Stay in the right lane unless you wantto pass. Before changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use your turn signal. Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over yourshoulder to make sure there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind” spot. 4-22 Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night. When you want t o leave the freeway, move t o the proper lanewell in advance. If vou miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Dr& o n tolthe ncst exit. The exit ramp can be cuwed, sometimes quite sharply. The exit speed is usually posted. BEFORE LEAUNG ON A LONG TRIP Make sure vou're ready. Try to be well rested. I f vou must start when you're not iresh -- such as aftcr a day's work -- d6n.t plan to make too many miles that first part o f the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can easily driw in. Is vour vehicle ready for a long trip'! If you keep it stlnliced and miintained, it's ready t o go. I f it needs service,have it done before starting out. Of course, you'll find experienced and ableservice experts in Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They'll be ready and willing to help if you need it. Here aresome things you can check beforea trip: Wirdd1ield Woslter Fluid: Is the reservoir full'? Are all windows clean inside and outside? Tires: They are vitally important to a safe, trouble-free trip, Is the tread good enough for long-distancc driving? Are thc tires all inflated to the recornnxnded pressure'? Weather Fomusts: What's the weather outlook along your route? Should you delay your trip a short time to avoid a major storm system'? Mcq~s:Do you have up-to-date maps? 4-23 H I G m A Y HYPNOSIS Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel‘? Callit highway hypnosis, lackof awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, thedrone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that canmake you sleepy. Don’t let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leavethe road in less t l m n secmd, and you could crash and be injured. What can you do about highway hypnosis‘?First, be aware that it can happen. Then here are some tips: 0 Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool interior. 0 Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your instruments frequently. If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, o r both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as an emergency. 4-24 - HILL AND MOUNTMN ROADS I. Driving on steep hills or mountainsis different from driving in flat or rolling terrain. 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 moreenjoyable. 0 Keep your vchicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brake;. tires. cooling system and transaxle. These partscan work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go down hills. The most important thing to know is this: let your enginedo some of the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go down a steep or long hill. 4-25 c . . . . . . . . . . . . e Know how to go uphill. You n w want to shift down to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your cnginc and transaxle, and you can climb the hill better. a Stay in your own lane when driving on two-laneroads i n hills or mountains. Don't swing wide or cut across the ccnter of thc road. Drive at speeds that let you stay in your own lanc. e As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could be something in your lane, like a stalled car or an accident. a You may see highway signs on mountains that warn of special problems. Examples are long grades, passing or no-passing zoncs, a failing rocks area, or winding roads. Be alcrt t o these and take appropriate action. 4-26 WINTER D W N G Here aresome tips for winter driving: a Have vour Cadiliac in good shape forwinter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. c n P You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk. P r- i c r ! I f- F Include an ice scraper, asmall 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. Be sure you properly secure theseitems in your vehicle. 4-27 Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the roadprobably have good traction. However, if there is snowor ice between your tires and the road,you can have a very slippery situation. Youllhave a lot less traction or “giip” and will need to be very careful. What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet icecan be even more trouble because it may offer theleast traction of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s about freezing (32” F; 0” C) and freezing rain begins to fall. Try to avoid drivingon wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there. Whatever thecondition -- smooth ice, packed, blowing or loose snow -- drive with caution. 4-28 e 4-29 If You’re Caught in a Blizzard i If you are stoppedby heavy snow, you could be in a serious situation.You should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure thatyou are near help and you can hike through the snow. Here are some things to do to summon help andkeep yourself and your passengers safe: Turn on your hazard flashers. Tie a red cloth to yourvehicle to alert police that you’ve been stopped by the snow. Put on extra clothingor wrapa blanket around you. If you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body insulators fromnewspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor mats-- anything you can wrap around yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm. You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful. -- .- . ... ..... ,. :. . . . c Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When vou run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightlv. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the battew charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile. 4-3 1 Then, shut the engineoff' and close the window almost all the way t o preserve the heat. Start the engine again and repeat this only when y o u feel reallv u~~comfortable from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Presewe'the fuel as long as you can. T ' o help keep warm,vou can get out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises eve1i half hour or so until hclp comes. LOADING YOUR VEHICLE TIRE-LOADING INFORMATION OCCUPANTS VEHICLE CAP.

Load-pulling conlponents such as the engine, transaxle,wheel assemblies, and tires areforced to work harder against the drag of the added weight. Thc engineis required to opcrate at relatively higher speeds and under greater loads, generating extra heat. What'smorc, the trailer adds considerably to wind resistance, increasing thc pulling requirements. If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer If you do, here are surne important points. There are ~nar~y different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailering. Makc sure your rig will be legal. not only where \;ou live hut also where you'll be driving. A good source for this infurmition can IX state orprovincial police. 4-35 You can ask a hitch dealer aboutsway controls. 0 Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 1,000 miles ( 1 600 krn) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailcr, don’t drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads. Obey speed limit restrictions when towing a trailer. Don’t drive faster than the maximum posted speed for trailers (or no more than55 mph (90 kndh)) to save wear on your vehicle’s parts. Three important considerationshave to do with weight: Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailer safely bc? It should never weigh more t h a n 1.000 pounds (450 kg) total, including the load. But even that can be too hcavy. It depends 011 how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outsidc tcmperatureand how mrrch your vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend on any spccial equipment thatyou have on yourvehicle. In Canada, write to General Motors of Canada Limited, Cilstomer Assistance Center, 1908 Colonel Sam Drive. Ochawa, Ontario LlH SP7. Weight of the frailer Tongue The tongue load (A) o f any trailer is a n important weight to measure because it affects the total capacity weight of your vehiclc. The capacity weight includes the curb weight o f the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it, and the people who w i l l be riding it1 the vehicle. And if you will tow a trailer: you must subtract the tongueload from your vehicle‘s capacity weight because your vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index for more information about your vehicle’s maximum load capacity. 4-36 c A If you’re using a “dead-weight” hitch, the trailcr tongue (A) should weigh 1 0 % of thc total loaded trailer weight (B). If you have a “weight-dist~-ibut.ing’? hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 12$+ of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After Vou‘ve loaded your trailer.weigh the trailer and thenthe tongue, separately, t o see if the weights arc proper. If they aren’t, you may be able t o get them right simply by moving s o n x items around i n the trailer. L, Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires Be sure vow vehicle’s tires are infiatcd to the 1-ccomrnendec1pressure for cold tir& Yt~~’l1 find these numbers on the Certification label at the rear edge of the driver’s door or sce “Loading Your Vehicle” i n the Index. Then be sure you don‘t go over the GVW limit for your vehicle, including the weight of the trailer tonguc. The gross combined vehicle weight (GCVW)=curb weight + passcnger’s weight + cargo + trailer weight, should never weigh more than 6,300 pounds (2 772 kg) total loaded vehicle and trailer. 4-37 It's important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are a few reasons why you'll need the right hitch. Here aresome rules to follow: Will you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? If you do, then be suret o k a l the holes later when you remove the hitch. If you don't seal them?deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from yourexhaust can get into your vehicle (see "Carbon Monoxide'? i n the Index). Dirt a l ~ water d can, too. The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or otherbumper-type hitches t o them. Use o n l y a frame-nwuntcd hitch that does not attach to the bumper. Safety Chains You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the roadif it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions aboutsafety chains may be provided by thc hitch manufacturer orby the trai1c1-manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not attach them t o the bumper. Always 1e;we just enough slack so VOLIcan turn with your rig. And, never allow safety chains to drag OII the ground. U Trailer Brakes 4-38 Driving with a Trailer Towing a trailer requiresa certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of Ilandling and braking w i t h the added weight of the trailer. And always keep i n mind that thc vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsivs as your vehicle is by itself. Before you start, check thc trailer hitch and platform (and attachments), safety chains, electrical connector, lamps, tiresand mirror adjustment. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then apply the trailer brake controlierby hand to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time. During \Tour trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that the’lights and any trailer brakes arestill working. Following Distance Stay at least twice as far behind thevehicle ahead as you would when you avoid situations driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help that require heavy braking and sudden turns. Passing You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou‘re a good deal longer,you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. Bucking Up Hold the bottom of the steeringwheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your hand to theright. Always back up slowly and, if possible, havc someone guide you. 4-39 NOTICE: Making very sharp turns while trailering coulcl cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Your whicle could be damagecl. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering. When towing a trailer? the green arrows on your instrument panelwill flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailcr are burned out. T h , you may think drivers behind you are seeing your signal when they are not. It's important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still working. Driving On Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lowcr gear bcfow VOLIstart clown a long or steep downgrade. If you don't shift down. youkight have to use your brakes so much that they would get hot and no longer work well. On a long uphill grade. shift down ; 1 n d reduce your speed to u-ound 45 mph (70 km/h) or less to reduce the possibility of engine and transaxle overheating. 4-4:) c- c .c Parking on Hills You really should not park yourvehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill. If something goes wrong, y&r riq could start t o move. People can be injured, and both your vel;icle and the trailer can be darnagecl. But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here‘s how to do it: L. 1. Apply your regular brakes, butdo not shift into PARK (P). 2. ILiave sonleone place chocks under the trailer whecls. Wzen You Are Ready to Leave A@r Parking on n Hill 3 2. Let up on the brake pedal. 3. Drivc slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks. 4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks. Maintenance when Trailer Towing Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedulefor more on this. Things that are especially important in trailer operation are automatictransaxle fluid (don’t overfill), engine oil, belt, cooling system, and brake adjustment. Eachof these is covered in this manual, and the Index will help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review these sections before you start your trip. Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight. 4-4 1 Engine Cooling When Trailering Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during severeoperating conditions such as: e Climbing grades steeper than 4% at ambient temperatures above 90' F (32" C) with a loaded vehicle and trailer. Stopping after high-speed driving. e Idling for long periods in stop and gotraffic. If the ENGINE HOT-A/C COMPRESSOR OFF message appears on the Driver Information Center, d o no be alarmed. Thisis a normal function designed to reduce the load on the engine and cooling system. You can continue to drive your vehicle. if the ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINE message appears on the Driver Information Center, pull off to the side of the road as soon as it is safe to do so. When the vehicle is at a complete stop, shift the transaxle selector to PARK (P) and allow the engine to idle. Do not turn off the engine or increase engine speed abovea normal idle. After several minutes resume driving at a reduced speed. Return to normal driving after 10 minutes if the ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINE message is not displayed. 4-42 PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS Your hazard warning flashers let y o u warn others.

Using them will damage your vehicle and destroy the chains too. Don't use tire chains on pour compact spare. IF Y0UX.E STUCK:IN SAND, MUD, ICE OR SNOW What you don't want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as .*rocking" canhelp you get out when you're stuck, but you must use caution. u NOTICE: Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well as the tires.If you spin the wheels too Fast while shifting your transaxle back and forth, you can destroyyour transaxle. For information about using tire chains on your vehicle, see "Tire Chains" in the Index. Rocking yourvehicle to get it out: First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around your front wheels. You should turn your traction control system off. (See "Traction Control System" in the Index.) Then shift back and forth between REVERSE ( R ) and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transaxle is in gear. if that doesn't get you out aftera few tries, you may need to be towed out. If you do need to be towed aut, see '*TowingYour Vehicle" in the Index. 5-34 -. 3 If you try to do your own service work without knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be damaged. FUEL W What about gasoline with blending materials that contain oxygen (oxygenates). such a s MTBE or alcohol? ., MTBE is ”nlethyl tcl-tiary-butyl ether. Fuel that is 11omore ttlan 15% MTRE is fine for your vehicle. Etimol is ethyl or grain alcohol. Propcriy-blended fuel that is no more than 10% ctizwtol is fine for your velliclc. “ c l u r m d is methyl or wood alcohol. Fuel that is more than 5% methanol is bad for your vehicle. Don’t use it. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and also damage plastic andrubber parts. That damage wouldn’t be covered under your warranty And even at 5%or less, there must be “cosolvents” and corrosion preventers in this fuel to help avoid these problems. G~lsoiines for Cleaner Air Your use of gasoline with deposit control additives w i l l help prevent deposits from formingill vour engine and fuel s\jstern. That helps keep your engine i n tune a11d your emission control $stem working properly. It‘s good for your vehicle. and you‘ll bc doing vour part for cleaner air. L. L- L r Many gasolines are now blended with oxygenates. General Motors recommends that YOU us2 gasolines with these blending materials. such as MTBE and ethanol. By doing so. you can help clean the air, especially in those parts of the county that have high carbon monoxide levels. In addition. some gasoline suppliers are m v producing reformulated gasolines. These gasoiirm are speciallv designed to reduce vehicle emissions. General Motors recornrnshs that you use reformulated gasoline. By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts of the country that have high ozone levels. You should ask your service station operatorsif their gasolines contain deposit control additives andoxygenates, and if they have been reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions. 6-3 FUELS ..INFOREIGN GOUNTHES I . .....

Washing Your Vehicle U The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finishis to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water. Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct ram of the sun. Dodt use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps.Don‘t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and watcrspotting. High pressurc carwashes may cause water t o entcr your vehicle. Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac by hand may be llezessary t o remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dcaler. (See “Appearance Care and Materials” i n the Index.) Your Cadillac has a “baseCo;tt/cl~~lrco~t” paint finish. The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoatlclearcoat paint finish. NOTICE: Machine compounding or aggressivepolishing on a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks. 6-54 Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, treesap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc. can damage vow vehicle's finish if they remain on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicleas soon as possible. If necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that arcmarked safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter. Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, wcather and chemical fallout that can take their toll over a period of years. You can help to keep the paint finish looking ncw by kceping your Cadillac garaged or covered wlxmcver possible. ALUMINUM WHEELS NOTICE: Don't use an automatic car wash that has hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take the protective coating off your aluminum wheels. TIRES To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleancr. When applying a tire dressing always take carc to wipe off any overspray or splash from painted surfaces. Petrolcum-based products 1;ay damage the paint finish. 6-55 SHEETMETAL DAIMAGE If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheetmctal repair or replacement, make sure thebody repair shop applies anti-corrosion material tothe parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. FINISH D M G E Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare mctal will corrode quickly and may develop intc a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratchescan be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealcr or otherservice outlets. Larger areas of finish damage canbe corrected in your dealer's body and paint shop. Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control cancollect on the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection. At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Clean anv areas wherc mud and other debris cancollect. Dirt packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Your dealer or anunderbody car washing system can do this for you. - CHEMICAL PAINT SPOTTING 6-57 APPEARANCE CARE IMATERI;4LS CHART GM PART NUMBER SIZE DESCKIPTION USAGE H KEHICLE IDENTIFICATIONNUMBER 1 G 6 My l- I NATION OF ORIGIN 1 = USA 1 ' i ! 5 2 9 X S U 8 0 0 0 0 1 - --.r--r -l-- r T i I I '.- I I i MANUFACTURER G = GENERAL MOTORS L ..

Service Bulletins are meant for qualified technicians. In some cases they refer to service manuals, specialized tools, equipment and safety procedures necessary to service the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued throughout the model year and beyond, an index is required and published quarterly to help identify specificbulletins. Subscriptions are available.
