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 of 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 failure. 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.

need to have your wheels aligned again. However,


While the tires available 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 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 corroded. 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.


296


r 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


rire Chains


r-


NOTICE: Use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for your tires. Install them on the front tires and tighten them as tightly 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.

4 p P E R 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. Never use these to clean your vehicle:


Gasoline 0 Benzene Naphtha Carbon Tetrachloride


0 Acetone 0 Paint Thinner


Turpentine


0 Lacquer Thinner 0 Nail Polish Remover They can all be hazardous -- some more than others -- and they can all damage your vehicle, too.


298


NOTICE: Don’t use any of these unless this manual says you can. In many uses, these will damage your vehicle:


Laundry Soap Bleach Reducing Agents


CLEANING THE INSIDE OF YOUR CrnILLJAC Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose dirt. Wipe vinyl or leather with a clean, damp cloth. Here are some cleaning tips:


Always read the instructions on the cleaner label. 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.


Using Foam-Qpe Cleaner on Fabric


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


0 Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge.


299


0 Don’t saturate the material.


Don’t rub it roughly.


0 As soon as you’ve cleaned the section, use a sponge to remove the


suds.


0 Rinse the section with a clean, wet sponge.


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


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


NOTICE: Be careful with a hair dryer or heat fabric.

0 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:


I -


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.


0 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 asp halt.


Carefully scrape off excess stain.


0 Follow the solvent-type instructions described earlier.


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.


0 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.


301


Cleaning Vinyl Use warm water and at clean cloth. 0 Rub with a clean,,damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it


more than once.


0 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 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.


0 Soiled leather should be cleaned immediately. If dirt is allowed to


work into finish, it can harm the leather.


Ckkaning 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 Solvent-Type Cleaner on Fabric.” Use as little solvent as you can. Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel Use only mildsoap 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 soap). Dry the wood immediately with a clean cloth.


soapy water (use mild dish washing


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. CLEMING THE OUTSIDE OF THE' WINDSHIELD 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.

to keep it clean by


CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR CXDILUC 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 washing it often with lukewarm or cold water. 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 vehicle washes may cause water to enter your vehicle. Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac may be necessary to- remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materials” in the Index.) Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” 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 basecoat/clearcoat paint finish.


NOTICE: Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a basecoatfclearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.


304


ALUMINUM WHEELS Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of your vehicle. 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.


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


off the


WEATHERSTRlpS Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them 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 application may be required. (See “Recommended Fluids & Lubricants” in the Index.)


NOTICE: Excessive amounts of grease may transfer onto clothing. Use a light coating and wipe thoroughly after each application


SHEETMETAL DAlMAGE 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 to restore corrosion protection. FOREIGN M!ATERL.IL Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish if they remain on painted


305


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. UNDERBODYMNTENNr% 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 PMNT 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.

Radio Power Windows Astroroof Windshield Wipers


If you open a door, everything will go off. And, after 10 minutes everything will go off, also. If you want power for another 10 minutes, just turn the key to Run and then back to Off. 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.

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 wiDer motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overhkats 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 the power windows and other power Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect 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. BULB CAMRT

SPECIFICATIONS 4.6 Liter 32 Valve (DOHC) Northstar Engine


The engine is a 4.6 liter (279 cu.in.) 90' V-8 featuring Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC), 32 valves, and-tuned sequential port fuel injection. This design results in a powerful, refined engine which is well suited to even the most demanding driving conditions. Engine weight is minimized by the use of low mass alloy materials. The crankcase, cylinder heads and oil pan are made from cast aluminum. The induction system housing, cam covers and oil filter adapter are cast magnesium. The reduced engine mass enhances vehicle handling, responsiveness and fuel economy.


318


The Northstar engine is designed to minimize the need for routine maintenance while incorporating systems to remind the driver when service is required. An oil life index indicator monitors ongoing operating conditions and reminds the driver when an oil change is needed. A low coolant warning message keeps track of the level of this vital fluid. Direct acting hydraulic tappets provide maintenance free zero lash operation of the 32 valves from idle to the 6500 rpm redline. The camshafts are driven by a two stage roller chain assembly which is designed to provide quiet maintenance free operation. Platinum tipped spark plugs increase the replacement interval to 100,OO miles. The four valves per cylinder design provides more efficient engine breathing, resulting in higher power than comparable two valve engines. The induction system uses smooth thermoplastic tubes to channel air into the cylinders. These smooth tubes simulate the elaborate port polishing methods used on racing engines. The shape and length of the tubes boosts horsepower by using sonic pressure waves created by the motion of the inlet valves to increase the amount of air entering each cylinder. Once the intake charge has entered the cylinder, the centrally located spark plug ensures fast and efficient burning of the fuel/air mixture. This engine is designed to be very durable. The aluminum block has cast-in-place iron cylinder liners for greater wear resistance. High strength connecting rods support the free floating piston pins in bronze bushings for superior high speed performance. The fillets of the nodular iron crankshaft undergo a high pressure compression rolling operation to improve their resistance to fatigue. Quiet operation is enhanced by the use of special materials and designs. The front cover of the engine is stamped from laminated steel which isolate va1v.e train damps out noise. Special cam cover gasket seals operation. The fuel injectors are placed inside the induction system housing to eliminate the clicking noise which is common to other fuel injected engines. The Northstar engine is designed to provide years of efficient, reliable, satisfying operation.


319


4T80E Transaxle


The Hydra-Matic 4T80E transaxle has been designed to complement the output characteristics of the Northstar engine. The innovative design incorporates several features which enhance its overall operation. This transaxle is the first of a new generation of “SMART” transmissions. The computer which controls the electronic shift solenoids adapts to changing environments while you drive. This provides consistent high quality shifts under all conditions. Communication between the engine and transaxle through this computer controls engine output during activation of torque management or traction control. Smooth shifting is ensured by design. Hydraulic accumulators control shift pressures and all shifts are made to free wheeling elements. The 4T80E uses a dry sump lubrication system with a scavenger pump. This unique feature er,ables the transaxle to maintain adequate pressurized oil supply during all maneuvers.


320


Spirited performance with very efficient cruising operation are provided by the combination of 4 speed overdrive gearing, a torque converter clutch, with a 3.71:l final drive ratio on the STS and a viscous converter clutch with a 3.11:l final drive ratio on the Seville SLS. 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 Road 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.


321


ShortlLongArm Suspension (SLA)


Your vehicle uses an independent shortflong 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 know as Road Sensing Suspension.

This system changes your steering effort based Speed Sensitive Steering


on your vehicle speed.


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

If hydraulic assist is not available, manual control is maintained.

Gold Key Courtesy Transportation helps you get where you need to be when your Cadillac is in the dealership for warranty service. Every Cadillac dealer can help meet your transportation needs with courtesy vehicles, rental cars, taxis or shuttle service."


*Please ask about the specifx Gold Key Courtesy Transportation benefits oflel-ed by your Cadillac Dealer.


Courtesy Vehicle


Gold Key Courtesy Transportation provides you with a late model Cadillac or other GM vehicle if your car requires two or more hours of warranty repairs and must be kept overnight. Your dealer will provide you with a courtesy vehicle if one is available. However, in some instances it may be necessary to arrange for alternative transportation. If this is the case, your dealer will reimburse you for rental fees up to $30 a day for a maximum of five days.


Shuttle Service or Taxi Warranty work can frequently be handled in one day, but there is no reason for you to wait around. Cadillac helps eliminate inconvenience to you with transportation alternatives. Gold Key Courtesy Transportation provides shuttle service for same day warranty work. Your Cadillac Dealer can get you where you need to be with minimal interruption of your daily schedule. Another option is a taxi. If the warranty repairs require two or more hours and require your Cadillac to be kept overnight, the Gold Key Courtesy Transportation plan allows you to be compensated up to $30 for a taxi. Be sure to get receipts for your Service Advisor so you can be reimbursed.

Plan Ahead When Possible Whenever possible, schedule an appointment for your vehicle’s warranty work. Your Cadillac Dealer can then prepare to meet your alternative transportation needs and minimize inconveniences typically associated with warranty repairs.


Owner Responsibilities


There are only two things which you will be responsible for during the use of your courtesy vehicle. You are required to Drovide insurance coverage and replenish the fuel used. In many cases your own auto insurance policy may provide primary coverage for the courtesy vehicle, similar to rental car agreements.

GM PARTICIPATION IN BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU MEDIATION/ARBITRATION PROGRAM* Both Cadillac Motor Car Division and your Cadillac dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle. If a situation arises where you feel your concern has not been adequately addressed, our experience has shown that the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described on Page 1 is very successful. There may be instances where an impartial third-party can assist in arriving at a solution to a disagreement regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To assist in resolving these disagreements, Cadillac voluntarily participates in BBB AUTO LINE. BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better Business Bureau system to settle disputes between customers and automobile free of charge to customers who own or manufacturers. This program is available lease a GM vehicle. If you are not satisfied after following the Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone number or the address listed below:


BBB AUTO LINE Council of Better Business Bureaus 4200 Wilson Boulevard Suite 800 Arlington, Virginia 22203


Telephone 1-800-955-5 100


To file a claim, you will be asked to provide your name and address, your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and a statement of the nature of your complaint. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and other factors. We prefer that you utilize the Customer Satisfaction Procedure before you resort to AUTO LINE, but you may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt to resolve the complaint by serving as an intermediary between you and Cadillac. If this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be scheduled where eligible customers may present their case to an impartial third-party arbitrator. The arbitrator will make a decision which you may accept or reject. If you accept the decision, GM will be bound by that decision. The entire dispute resolution procedure should ordinarily take about forty days from the time you file a claim until a decision is made. Some state laws may require you to use this program before filing a claim with a state-run arbitration program or in the courts. For further information, contact the BBB or the Cadillac Consumer Relations Center. NOTE: This program may not be available in all states, depending on state law. General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or to discontinue its participation in this program.
