When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all - the way.

ENGINE COOLANT The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index. The proper coolant for your Cadillac will: 0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37OC) . 0 Give boiling protection up to 262 F (128 C) . 0 Prote-ct against rust and corrosion.

(.

Help keep the proper engine temperature. Let the warning-lights work as they shoula.

What to Use Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half antifreeze that meets “GM specification 1825-M,” which won’t damage aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM Specification 1825-M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant change. If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.

270

.A CAUTION:

’

. Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be . dangerous. Plain water, or some-other liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant .mix ,will. Your vehicle’s coolant warning system is set-for the proper coolant mix. With plain water or the wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you .wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire and you OF others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mix of clean water and a proper antifreeze.

NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged. Therepair cost wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Too much water in the mix can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater .coreand other parts.

Adding Coolant The Coolant Recovery Tank is located on the right side of your vehicle. To Check Coolant When your -engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the FULL COLD mark or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the level should be up to FULL HOT mark or a little higher. To Add Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the coolant recoverv tank.

271

4

. . . A CAUTION:

brning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and radiator are hut can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost never have to add coolant at the radiator. Never turn the radiator pressure cap -- even a little -- when the engine and radiator are hot.

Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not to spill it.

A CAUTION:

You can be burned if you spil1 coolant on hot engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol, and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.

NOTICE: Your radiator pressure cap is a 15 psi (105 ma) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filier neck.

When you replace your radiator pressure cap, a GM cap is recommended.

272

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. POKER STEERIING FLUID

273

How To Check Power Steering Fluid Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.

0 When the engine compartment is hot, the level should be at the “HOT” mark.

0 When the engine compartment is cool, the level should be at the “FULL COLD” mark.

What to Add Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use.

NOTICE: When adding power steering fluid or making a complete fluid change, always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.

274

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID To Add:

Open the cap labeled “WASHER FLUID ONLY.” Add windshield washer fluid until the bottle is full.

I‘

NOTICE:

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer instructions for adding water. Don’t mix water with ready to use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid. Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold. This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if iE is completely full. Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It can damage your paint.

Brake Master Your brake master

Cylinder cylinder is here. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.

your master

There are only two reasons why the brake flul, leve 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. If it is, you should have your brake system fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later your brakes won’t work well, or won’t work at all. So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off” your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid when your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new brake linings. You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.

A CAUTION

If you have too much brake fluid, it can spiIl on the engine. The fluid will burn if the engine is hot enough. You or others could be burned, and your vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.

When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index. M a t to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as

- Delco Supreme ll@ (GM Part No.1052535). Use new brake fluid from a

sealed container only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap before removing it.

277

NOTICE 0 Donst let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. For

example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system parts so ba.dly that they’ll have to be replaced. Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful not to spill- brake fluid on your vehicle. If yondo, wash it off immediately.,See “Appearance Care” in the Index

Brake- Wear Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warningsound when-.the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The soundmay come and-go; or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except when yoware pushing on the brake pedal firmly).

NOTICE: Continuing to drive with worn-out brakepads couM result in costly brake:repair.

278

r

to normal,height, or if

Some driving cond.itions or climates may cause a brakesqueal when the brakes are..first applied or lightly applied. This does-not-mean something is wrong with your brakes. Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets. Brake Pedal Travel See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return these is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble. Brake Adjustment Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear. If you rarely make a moderate or heavier s.top, then your brakes might not adjust correctly. If you drive in that way; then -- very carefully,-- make a few moderate brake stops about every 1000 miles (1600 km), so your brakes will adjust prsperly. Replacing Brake System. Parts The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, as your Cadillac does when it is new. When you replace parts of your braking system -- for example, when your brake linings wear down and you have to have new ones put in -- be sure you get new genuine GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance-.between your front and rear brakes can change, for the worse. The. braking performance you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways itsomeone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.

BATTERY Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the catalog number shown on the original battery’s label. 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.

Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer storage periods. Battery Power Loss If you lose battery power or the battery is disconnected, your car’s computer must be programmed. It takes just over 20 minutes to do it. If you want to do it yourself, here’s how: 0 Apply the parking brake. 0 Make sure the front wheels are straight. 0 Turn off the Electronic Climate Control.

- -

280

Start the engine in “P” (Park) and let it idle for 15 minutes. Then: Put your foot on the brake pedal, shift the transaxle to @ and let it idle for 3 minutes or more. Do not accelerate the engine. Then: With the car in @ (Drive), turn the Electronic Climate Control to “Auto” and let the engine idle for 3 minutes or more. Turn your engine off.

Now your computer is programmed. U O G E N BULBS

TIRES We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new Cadillac. If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a tire warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.

tires made

by the tire

i -4

Inflation = Tire Pressure The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on the driver’s door shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.

L i

292

NOTICE: Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation) you can get:

Too much flexing Too much heat Tire overloading Bad wear Bad handling Bad fuel economy.

If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:

Unusual wear Bad handling Rough ride Needless damage from road hazards.

When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. The tire pressures are:

Front - 30 psi (207 kPa) Rear - 30 psi (207 kPa) Recommended tire size is:

Michelin XW4 Blackwall (P215/70R15) T125/70RIS (Compact Spare)

c- 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.

293

If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture. Tire Inspection -and Rotation To make your tires last longer, have them inspected andxotated. at the mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.

Use this rotation pattern.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the Index.

294

When It3 Time for New Tires

One way to tell-when it’s time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining.

You need a new tire i f

You can see the indicators at three or more 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. The tire has a bump, bulge or split.

The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired well because of the size or location of the damage.

Buying New Tires To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading Information label. The tires installed on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride and other things during normal service on your vehicle. If your tires have an all-season tread design, the TPC number will be followed by a “MS” (for mud and snow). If you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction type (bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.)

Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction - A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces sf asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. 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 C, representing the 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. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire €ailure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.

297

While the tires ava.ilable as standard or optional equipment on General Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use on General Motors vehicles. All passenger type (P Metric) tires must conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades. Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced. Wheel Replacement Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer if any of these conditions exist. Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need. Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces. If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your Cadillac model.

298

Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts on your vehide can be dangerous. It could affect the braking and handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you lose control. You could have a collision in which you or others could be iqjured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for replacement.

NOTICE: The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlight aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.

Used Replacement Wheels

I I A CAUTION:

Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is dangerous. You can’t know how it% 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

GM original equipment wheel.

299

Tire Chains

NOTICE: Use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper tires. Install them on the front tires and as possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can hear the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten them. If the contact continues, slow down until it stops. Driving too fast with chains on will damage your vehicle.

A P P E G A C E CARE

Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others can burst into flame if you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed space. When you use anything from a container to clean your Cadillac, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside.

Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or leather 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. Do not use them on vinyl or leather.

301

Here are some cleaning tips:

label.

Always read the instructions on the cleaner Clean up stains as soon as you can -- before they set. 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. If you use them, don’t saturate the stained area. If a ring forms after spot cleaning, clean the entire area immediately or it will set.

Cleming Leather Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or saddle soap.

For stubborn stains, use a mild solution of 10% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and 90% water. Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or-abrasive cleaners; furniture polish or shoe polish on leather. Soiled leather should be cleaned immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into finish, it can harm the leather.

Cleaning Speaker Covers Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the speaker won’t be damaged. If something gets.on one of them, follow the steps earlier under “Using Solv.ent-Type Cleaner on Fabric.’’ Use as little solvent as you can. Using Foam-Ppe Cleaner on Fabric

IC-

Vacuum and brush the.area to remove any loose dirt.

0 Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask surrounding trim

along stitch or welt lines. Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner following the directions on the container label.

7-.

0 Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge. 0 Don’t saturate the material.

0 Don’t rub it roughly. 0 As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove the

suds. Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.

0 Wipe off what’s left with a slightly damp paper towel or cloth.

Then dry it immediately with a blow dryer or a heat lamp.

NOTICE: Be careful with a hair dryer or heat lamp. You could scorch the fabric.

Wipe with a clean cloth.

Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric 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 a solvent:

Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure.and clean cloths (preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of the stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep changing to a clean section of the cloth. When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with an air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help prevent a cleaning ring. (See the previous NOTICE.)

Special Cleaning Problems Greasy or Oily Stains Such as grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar and asphalt. 0 Carefully scrape off excess stain. 0 Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier. 0 Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle seat fabric. They should be removed as soon as possible. Be careful, because the cleaner will dissolve them and may cause them to spread.

Non-Greasy Stains Such as catsup, coffee (black), egg, fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood.

Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool water. If a stain remains, follow the foam-type instructions described earlier. If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit or urine, treat the area with a waterbaking soda solution: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup (250 ml) of lukewarm water. If needed, clean lightly with solvent-type cleaner.

Combination Stains Such as 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 Vinyl Use warm water and a clean cloth.

Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it more than once. Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you don’t get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth and a solvent-type vinyl cleaner.

Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the windshield under certain conditions. Care of Wood Panels

Use a clean cloth moistened in warm soapy water (use mild dish washing soap). Dry the wood immediately with a clean cloth.

CARE OF SMETYBELTS Keep belts clean and dry.

-.

GLASS Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films. Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary license should not be attached across the defogger grid. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BACK GLASS AND WIPER BLADES If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or windshield. Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water. Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR CIILL4AC The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and durability. Washing Your Khicle The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.

306

- Don’t wash your vehicle in

the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps

or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents 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 water spotting. High pressure car 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” in the Index.) Your Cadillac has a “ba~ec~at/clearc~at” more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish.

NOTICE:

- Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a basecoat/ clearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.

ALUMINUM WHEELS Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of your Cadillac. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be

- applied.

NOTICE: Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take off the protective coating.

307

WHITE SIDEWaL TIRES Your Cadillac dealer has a GM White Sidewall Tire Cleaner. You can use a stiff brush with the cleaner. WEATHERSTRlpS Silicone lubricant on weatherstrips will allow them to last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent applications may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids & Lubricants” in the Index.) SHEETMETAL D M G E If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or replaced FOREIGNIMATERbU Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial cbimneys, and other foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter. FINISH D M G E Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.

U N D E R B O D Y M N T E N ~ C E Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect 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 any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this for you. CHEMICAL PAINT SPOTTING Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface. Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase, whichever comes first.

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of Mini Fuses, Circuit Breakers, and Maxi Fuses. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. If you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along without that is the same value you need -- like the radio or cigarette lighter -- and use its fuse. Be sure to use a fuse with the same amperage rating number on it (ie. lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.

There is a fuse removal tool and some spare mini fuses in the glove box door, just lift the cover up. Engine Compartment Fuse Block

- Headlights

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away. Windshield Wipers The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed. Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.

SPECIFICATIONS 4.9 Liter Engine

The 4.9 Liter transverse engine is an overhead valve 90 degree V-8 design. The cylinder bore diameter and the piston stroke provide a piston displacement of 300 cubic inches (4.9Liter). This engine utilizes an aluminum crankcase with a separate aluminum lifter carrier and removable cast iron cylinder liners. The cylinder heads ar,e made of cast iron and feature intergral valve seats and guides. The cast nodular iron crankshaft is supported at five main bearing journals by cast iron main bearing caps and shell type steel-backed aluminum inserts. The center main bearing is the thrust bearing.

t3

320

-1_

c _

The cast aluminum pistons use two compression rings and one oil control ring. The pistons are tin plated to provide a non-scuffing surface when the engine is new. A steel camshaft is supported by five steel backed babbit bearings. It is driven by the crankshaft through a chain at the front of the engine. The give gear is keyed to the crankshaft and the driven sprocket is bolted to the camshaft. Both the crankshaft gear and camshaft sprocket have locating marks to provide the correct valve timing and timing chain installation. The valve lifters are roller hydraulic type and are positioned in the aluminum lifter carrier. 4T60E Transaxle

The Hydra-Matic 4T60E 4-speed overdrive, electronic transaxle consists primarily of a five element torque converter, two planetary gear sets,

various clutches, final drive assembly, and a control valve body.

321

~. .

c -

The torque converter houses a pump, turbine, pressure plate which is splined to the turbine, and a stator assembly, serving as a fluid coupling, it smoothly transmits power from the engine to the transaxle. It also hydraulically provides a additional torque when required. When applied, the pressure plate provides a mechanical torque when required. When applied, the pressure plate provides a mechanical direct drive coupling of the engine to the transaxle. The two planetary gear sets provide the four forward gear ratios and reverse. Changing of the gear ratios is fully automatic and is accomplished through the use of various electronic and mechanical requirements. Four multiple disc clutches, two roller clutches, a sprag clutch, and three bands provide the friction elements required to obtain the various ratios with the planetary gear sets. A hydraulic system (the control valve body) pressurized by a vein type pump provides the working pressure needed to operate the friction elements and automatic controls. Front Suspension

Your fully independent front suspension is a combination strut and spring design. The frame is isolated from the body with six rubber mounts.

Rubber bushings are used at the lower control arm pivots. The upper end of the strut is isolated by a rubber mount which contains a bearing to allow for wheel turning. The Speed Sensing Suspension automatically controls the damping rate of the struts. The lower end of the steering knuckle pivots on a ball joint riveted to the control arm. The ball joint is connected ,to the steering knuckle with a castellated nut and cotter pin. ShortlLong Arm Suspension (SLA)

Your vehicle uses an independent short/long arm rear suspension. All the rear suspension components are mounted on a suspension support which is attached to the body at four points and is fully isolated with bushings and insulators to minimize road noise. Each rear wheel is connected to the suspension support through the suspension knuckle using an upper and lower control arm and toe link.

--

The control arms and toe link are attached to the suspension support on the inboard side, and to a suspension knuckle on the outboard side. The hub and bearing assembly is mounted to the knuckle and is a single, non-serviceable unit which eliminates the need for wheel bearing adjustment. The load leveling (ELC) shock absorbers are attached to the lower control arm, with the upper end of the shock attached to the suspension support. The springs are held in position between the lower control arms and a pocket in the suspension support. The suspension system also incorporates a new damping system known as Speed Sensing Suspension. This system controls the damping forces in the shock absorbers and struts, in response to various road and driving conditions. The systems are capable of making these damping changes extremely fast. A computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration sensors, wheel to body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive signals. This computer evaluates the input from these sensors, to control the damping of each of the struts and shocks independently to provide varied levels of suspension control. The system also has the capability of providing Speed Sensitive Steering control. This system changes your steering effort based on your vehicle speed.

c-

Speed Sensitive Steering

This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased maneuverability and parking ease. As your vehicle speed increases, the steering effort is also increased to provide a manual like steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability. The power rack and pinion steering system has a rotary spool valve which directs hydraulic fluid coming from the power steering pump to one side or the other side of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to the rack. The rack piston converts hydraulic pressure to a linear force which moves the rack left or right. The force is then transmitted through the inner and outer tie rods to the steering wheels If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is maintained. However under these conditions more steering effort
