The name Cadillac is appropriately that of Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac, the French military commander who founded the city of Detroit in 1701. What better name for the oldest automobile manufacturer in Detroit. c Henry M. Leland, known as the master of precision, initiated his precision manufacturing techniques the at founding of Cadillac in 1902.
VI6 Engines 1930-1940 w 1949 Overhead Valve High Compression V8 Engine Standardization opened the eyes of the industrial world and was thecornerstone of modem assembly line production. From this achievement evolved the reference to Cadillac as “Standardof the World.” In 1909 Cadillac was purchased by the then new General Motors Corporation.
frnest documents ever written. It was published following the introduction of the first production V8 engine, which was standard in all Cadillacs beginning with the 1915 model. c Many Cadillac "firsts" have followed over the years, including the synchro-mech clashless transmission, a nationwide comprehensive service policy, security plate glass, chrome plating and the first car to be designed by a stylist (1927 LaSalle/Harley Earl).
There are, tobe sure, many ways to describe the superlative motor car pictured. “Beauty,” “majesty,”“brilliance” -allapply, in their fullest meaning, to thisnew Cadillac. And yet, from this wonderful vocabulary, we have selected “elegance” as the word that most fully characterizes the Cadillac of 1960. The car’s beautiful, clean-lined styling is certainly elegant beyond compare. its new interior luxury provides a feeling of elegance that can be sensed nowhere else in the world of motor cars.
c advances such as air suspension, memory seat, automatic electric door locks, transistor radio, a brushed stainless steel roof and low profile tires. c t 1957 Eldorado Brougham P L- C For .the1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary tail fin which once more set the trend in automotive styling for nearly two decades.This was closely followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille the industry's first modern overhead valve, high compression V8 engine on the 1949 model.
The electronicsand computerization which were pioneered by Cadillac in the'70s came of age in the '80s with Digital Fuel Injection and On-Board Diagnostics in 1980, four wheel Anti-lock Brakes on 1986 models and Traction Control in the fall of 1989. to win all The 1992 Seville STSwas the first car ever three major automotive awards: Car of the Year, Motor Trend; Ten Best List, Car& Driver; Carof the Year, Automobile Magazine.

A CAUTION: But don’t have a seatback reclinedif your vehicleis moving. 1-6 Sitting in a reclined position whenyour vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safetybelts can’t do their jobwhen you’re reclined like this. The shoulderbelt can’t do itsjob because it won’t be against yourbody. Instead, itwill 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.
Head Restraints Slide the head restraint up or down so that thetop of the of your ears. This position restraint is closest to the top reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. - Your vehicle has a light that comes on asa reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.) Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone P This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.
Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. I t I Put someone on it. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s justa seat on wheels.
c . . . .. . .. c .. Get itup to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn't stop. c i The person keeps going until stoppedby something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ...
..... ;j 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 overmore distance, and your strongest bonestake the forces. That’s why safety belts make such good sense.
Here Are Questions Many PeopleAsk About Safety Belts -- and the Answers @ Won’t I be trapped in thevehicle after an accident if I’m wearinga safety belt? A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your chance of being conscious during andafter an accident,so you can unbuckle and getout, is much greater if you are belted.
P E How to Wear Safety Belts Properly Adults This part is only for peopleof adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety beltsand children. And there are different rules for smaller childrenand babies. If a child will be riding in your Cadillac, see the part of this manual called “Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection. E E First, you’ll wantto know which restraint systems your vehicle has. We’ll start with the driver position.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. 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. Pull up on the latch plate to make sureisitsecure. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
Shoulder Beit Height Adjuster Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you. To move it down, squeeze the release handle move and You can move the height adjuster to the desired position. the adjuster up justby pushing up on the bottomof the release handle. After you move the adjuster to where you want it, try to move it down without squeezing the release handle to make sure it has locked into position.
’‘A ...... P tl 3. Just before it reaches the end, give ita quick pull. 4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a slight clicking sound.If you don’t, the adjustment feature won’tset, and you’ll have to start again. 5 . Now you can add a small amountof slack. Lean If you’ve added more forward slightly, then sit back. than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pullthe shoulder belt out as you did before and start again.
What’s wrong with this? a U A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way. 1-16 A CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder beltis too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder beltshould fit against your body. Don’t allow more than1 inch (25 mm) of slack.
e: What’s wrong with this? A 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. The belt forces would be there, not at the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Always buckle yourbelt into thebuckle nearest you. A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place.
&: What’s wrong with this? I A CAUTION: You can be seriouslyinjured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. Ina crash, your body wouldmove 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. You could also severelyinjure internal organs like your liver or spleen. A: The shoulder beltis worn under the ann.It should be worn over the shoulder at all times.
&: What’s wrong with this? I A CAUTION: You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full widththeof belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, orask your dealer tofix it. P C A: The belt is twisted across the body.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System This partexplains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system or air bag system. lour Cadillac has twoair bags -- one air bag forthe driver and another airbag for the right front passenger. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back outof the way. Before you closethe door, be sure the belt is out of the way. If you slam the door onit, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle.
c Here arethe most important things to know about theair bag system: A CAUTION: You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you aren’t wearing your safety belt even if you have an airbag. Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce yourchance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. The air bag is onlya “supplemental restraint.” That is, it works with safety belts but doesn’t replace them.
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows AIR BAG. How the Air Bag System Works r AIR BAG The system checks theair bag’s electrical systemfor malfunctions. The light tells you if there isan electrical problem. See “AirBag Readiness Light” in the Index for more information. Where is the air bag? The driver’sair bag is in the middle of the steering wheel.
A CAUTION: Don’t put anythingon, or attachanything to, the steering wheel or instrument panel. Also, don’t put anything(such as pets or objects) between any occupant and the steering wheel or instrument panel. If something is betweenan occupant and an air bag, it could affect the performance of the airbag or worse, it could cause injury. P -- c c The right front passenger’s air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger’s side.
When should an air bag inflate? The air bag is designedto inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes.The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed is above the system’s designed “threshold level.”If your vehicle goes straight into a wall that doesn’t moveor deform, the threshold level is about 9 to 15 mph (14 to 24 km/h). The threshold level can vary, however, withspecific vehicle design,so that it canbe somewhat above or below this range.
Your vehicle has a feature thatwill automatically unlock the doors andtum the interior lampson when the air bag After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates.This occurs so quickly that some people may not even realize the air inflates (if battery power is available). Butif you want to, you can lock the doors again andturn the interior lamps bag inflated.Some components of the airbag module in off by using the door lock and interior lamp controls.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag mean that yourair bag system. Improper service can system won’t work properly. See your dealer for service. I NOTICE: If you damage the cover for the driver’s or the right frontpassenger’s air bag, they maynot work properly. You may haveto replace the air bag module in the steeringwheel or both the air bag module and the instrumentpanel for the right frontpassenger’s air bag. Do not open or break theair bag covers.
Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy ry Safety belts workfor everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injuredif they don’t wear safety belts. The best way to protect the fetusis to protect the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effectiveis wearing them properly.
Center Passenger Position Lap Belt If your vehicle has a front split seatand a rear bench the center positions. seat, someone can sit in U When you sit ina center seating positisn,you have a lap safety belt, whichhas no retractor.To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt.
Rear Seat Passengers It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those are who wearing safety belts. Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle ina crash. And theycan strike others in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

To make the lap part tight, pull down onthe buckle end of the belt asyou pull up on the shoulder part. n n The lap partof the belt shouldbe worn low and snug on the hips, just touchingthe thighs. In a crash,this applies force to the strong pelvicbones. And you'd be less likely to slide underthe lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force atyour abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest.

t.a* -%\ 1) Section 4 Your DrivingandtheRoad Defensive Driving 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 readyfor anything.” On city streets, rural roads or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.” Assume that pedestriansor other drivers are goingto be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do.
Drunken Driving problem The obvious wayto solve this highway safety is for people never drink to alcohol and then drive. But Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is what if people do? How much is “too much”if the a national tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the driver plans to drive? It’s a lot than less many might highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every think. Althoughit depends on each person and situation, year. here is some general information on the problem.
Since alcoholis camed in body water, this means thata BAC level than a woman generally will reach a higher man of her same body weight when each has the same number of drinks. a The law in manyU.S. states sets the legal limit atBAC of 0.10 percent. In a growing number of U.S. states, and 0.08 percent. In some throughout Canada, the limit is other countries it’s even lower. The BAC limit for all commercial drivers in the United States0.04 is percent. The BAC will be over0.
Ia The body takes aboutan hour to rid itself of the alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or numberof cold CAUTION: showers will speed that up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer. What if there’san emergency, a need to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? Drinking and then drivingis very dangerous.
1 Control of a Vehicle Braking You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Braking action involvesperception time and reaction time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’s perception time. Then youhave to bring up your foot and doit. That’s reaction time. c Average reaction time is about 3/4 of a second.
Avoid needless heavy braking. Somepeople drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followedby heavy braking -- rather than keeping pace withtraffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lotof heavy braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will eliminate a lotof unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brakelife.
r The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. F 4 I" i Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet. You're driving safely. Suddenlyan animal jumps out in front of you. ?I r ABS. You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard. A computer senses that wheelsare slowing down.
Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need up to the brake pedal or always decrease to get your foot stopping distance.If you get too closeto the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough roomup ahead to stop, even though you have anti-lock brakes. Traction Control System Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially usefulin slippery road conditions.
. r r r r r r r r -. . .:, . - . <.”’. ’ I TRACTION CONTROL This warning light will come on to let you knowif there’s a problem with your traction control system. See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in the Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. The traction control system automatically comes on whenever you start your vehicle.
Braking in Emergencies Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you can steerand brake atthe 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 orthe system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
The traction you canget in a curve dependson the condition of your tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curveis banked and your speed. While you’re in a curve, speedis the one factor you can control. Try to adjust your speedso you can “drive” through the Suppose you’re steering througha sharp curve. Then you suddenly accelerate.Both control systems -- steering tires and acceleration-- have to do their work where the meet the road.
Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that yourright wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. OFF-ROAD RECOVE An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision.If you are holding the steering wheel at the recommended9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly and just as quickly straighten the wheel onceyou have avoided the object.
Passing The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits forjust the right moment, accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahead, then goes back into the right lane again.A simple maneuver? c c rr- c c c Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same lane as oncoming traffic for several seconds.
0 Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder and start your left lane change signal before moving out of the right laneto pass. When youare far enough ahead of the passed vehicle tosee its front in your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirroris convex. The vehicleyou just passed may seemto be farther away from you than it really is.) Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose controlof the vehicle.
c L LI Of course, tractionis reduced when water, snow, ice, Driving gravel or other material is on the road. For safety, you’ll to these want to slow down and adjust your driving conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited. at Night 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).
Here are some tips on night driving. 0 Drive defensively. e Don’t drink and drive. 0 Since you can’t seeas well, you may need to slow down and keep morespace between you and other vehicles. 0 Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.Your headlamps can light up onlyso much road ahead. 0 In remote areas, watchfor animals. a If you’re tired, pull offthe road.in a safe place and rest. Night Vision No one can see aswell at nightas in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase.
Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads P c 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. It’s always wisegotoslower andbe cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving.The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement. The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see.
A CAUTION: Wet brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work well in a quick stop and may cause pullingto one side. You could lose controlof the vehicle. After driving througha large puddleof water or a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until your brakes work normally. Driving too fast throughlarge water puddlesor even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water mayaffect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can’t, try to slowdown before you hit them.
r r r r r r r r f Hydroplaning Driving Through Deep Standing Water Hydroplaning is dangerous.So much water can buildup under your tires that they can actually ride on the water. This can happenif the roadis wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. NOTICE: If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water, water can come in through your engine’s air intake and badly damage your engine.
City Driving Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time and energy.(See the next part, “Freeway Driving.”) Treat a green light as a warning signal. A trd3c light is there because the comer is busy enough to need it.
Freeway Driving w-.. __ ?. A- c At the entrance, there is usually a ramp that leads the to freeway. If you have a clear view of the freewayYOU as drive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check traffic.Try to determine where you expect to blend with the flow. Try to merge into thegap at close to turn signal, check the prevailing speed. Switch on your your mirrors and glance over your shoulder as often as necessary. Try to blend smoothly with the trafficflow.
The exit speed is usually posted. Here are some things you can check before a trip: Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend think to you are going slower thanyou actually are. 0 Before Leavingon a Long Trip Make sure you’re ready.Try to be well rested. If you -- such as aftera day’s must start when you’re not fresh work -- don’t plan to make too many miles that firstpart of the journey.
r r F r r r r r Highway Hypnosis Hill and Mountain Roads Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Oris it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? of awareness or whatever. Call it highway hypnosis, lack There is something about an easy stretch of road with the hum of the tires on the the same scenery, along with road, the droneof the engine andthe rush of ,thewind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
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 andalso the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle. These parts can work hard on mountain roads. 0 Coasting downhill inNEUTRAL (N) or with the ignition off is dangerous, Your brakes will have to do all the workof slowing down,They could getso hot that they wouldn’t work well.
Winter Driving Here are some tipsfor winter driving: Have your Cadillac in good shape for winter. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk. Include an ice scraper,a small brushor broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth aand couple of reflective warning triangles.
Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meetthe road probably have good traction. However, if there is snow or ice betweenyour tires and the road, you can havea very slippery situation. You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will to need be very careful. I What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold to drive on. But wet snow or ice can be slick and hard it offer the ice canbe even more trouble because may least tractionof all.
c Your anti-lock brakes improve your vehicle’sstability when you makea hard stop on a slippery road. Even though you havethe anti-lock braking system, you’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. See “Anti-Lock”in the Index. 0 If You’re Caught in a Blizzard Allow greater following distance on any slippery road. Watch for slippery spots. The road might befine with ice.
Tie a red clothto your vehicle to alert police that you’ve been stopped by the snow. Put on extra clothingor wrap a blanket around you. or extra clothing,make body If you have no blankets insulators from newspapers, burlapbags, rags, floor mats -- anything you can wrap around yourself or tuck underyour clothing to keep warm. You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful. 4-28 A CAUTION: Snow can trapexhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside.
P Run your engine onlyas long as you must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. Thatis, push the accelerator slightly. This uses less fuelfor the heat that you get andit keeps the battery charged.You will need a well-charged battery to for signaling lateron restart the vehicle, and possibly with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile. Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all the wayto preserve the heat.

After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailerand then the tongue, separately, tosee if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to get them right simply by moving some items around in the trailer. Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires A B If you’re using a “dead-weight” hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10% of the total loaded trailer weight (B). If you have a “weight-distributing” hitch, the trailer tongue(A) should weigh 12%of the total loaded trailerweight (B).
c Hitches Safety Chains It’s importantto have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads area few reasonswhy you’ll need the right hitch. Here are some rulesto follow: You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer. Cross the safety chainsunder the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch.
nailer Wiring Harness Driving witha Trailer If your vehicle is equipped with the 3,000-lb. (1 360 kg) trailer towing package option, you will have trim.The a wiring harness located under the trunk harness is a five wire, with connector. These trailer wiring harness color codes should be followed when connectingit to your trailer: WHITE: Direct trailer groundfor trailer lamps. BROWN: Parkinglamps. YELLOW: Left turn and stoplamps. GREEN: Right turn and stoplamps. BLUE: Auxiliarycircuit.
Following Distance c Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving your vehicle withouta trailer. This can helpyou avoid situations that require heavy braking and sudden turns. Passing c Y You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll needto go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before youcan return to your lane. Backing Up c) c) Hold the bottom of the steering wheel withone hand.

Jump Starting c If your battery has run down, you may want to use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your Cadillac. Please follow the steps below to do it safely. P A CAUTION: Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous because: They contain acid that can burn you. They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
2. Get the vehicles close enoughso the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t want.You wouldn’t be able to start your Cadillac and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems. 3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette lighter. Turn off all lamps that aren’t needed as well sparks and help save both as radios. This will avoid batteries.
c A CAUTION: LC. Using a match near a battery can cause battery gas toexplode. People have been hurt doing this, and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight if you need more light. Be sure the battery has enoughwater. You don’t need to add water to the Delco Freedom@ battery installed inevery new GM vehicle. But if a battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount of fluid is there. If it islow, add water to take care of that first. If you don’t, explosive gas could be present.

I NOTICE: How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Surge Tank If you haven? found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn’t atthe proper level(2.5 inches (60 mm) below the base of the fill neck), adda 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably distilled) andDEX-COOL antifreeze atthe coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling system, includingthe coolant surge tank If there seems tobe no leak, withthe engine on, check to pressure cap, is cool before you do it.
c A CAUTION: Adding only plain waterto your cooling system can be dangerous. Plainwater, or some other liquid likealcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mix will. Your vehicle'scoolant warning system is set for the propercoolant mix. With plain wateror thewrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you wouldn't get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire andyou or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mix of clean water andDEX-COOL antifreeze.
NOTICE: A In cold weather, water can freezeand crack the engine, radiator, heater coreand otherparts. So use the recommended coolant. A CAUTION: You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.Coolant contains ethylene glycol and itwill burn if the engine parts arehot enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine. 1. You can remove the coolant surgetank pressure cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot.
2. Then keep turning the cap, but now push down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap. 3. Then fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mix, up to the base of the filler neck.
k 4. With the coolant surgetank pressure cap off, start the you can feel the upper engine and let it run until radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine fans. By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower.If the level is lower, add more of the proper mix to the coolant surge tank 2.5 inches (60 mm) until the level reaches about below the baseof the filler neck. 5. Then replace the pressure cap.Be sure the arrows on the pressure cap line up like this.
c LI c c If a Tire Goes Flat Changing a Flat Tire It’s unusual for a tire to “blowout” while you’redriving, especially if you maintain your tires properly.If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likelyto leak out slowly. But if you should ever havea “blowout,” hereare a few tips about what toexpect and what to do: If a tire goesflat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowlyto a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flashers.
