The
system probably will say
to
change the
oil
between 3000 miles (5000
km) and 7500 miles (12500
km),
but it may even say to change
it
before
3000 under
very
severe conditions.
It
all
depends
on
your driving
patterns. If it’s been 7500 miles
(12500 km)
it
will say to change
oil.
There are two things
the
system doesn’t do:
It can’t sense heavy dust
in
the places whcre you drive. If you drive
in
a dusty area, you should change your
oil
every 3000 miles (5000 krn)
or
3
months (whichever comes first), unless
thc
display says to change
it
even sooner than that.

It doesn’t check how much
oil
you
have,
so
you’ll
still have
to
check
Also, for the system
to
work right,
it
is important that
you
use
SG
oil, as
discussed earlier.
for that.
To
see how, see Index under “Engine
Oil.”
When
You’ve
Changed the
Oil
When new
oil
is put
in,
you‘ll
need
to
reset
your
system.
To
do it, display
the
“OIL
LIFE
INDEX”
by pressing
the
“Information” button. Then
press and hold the “STORE/RECALL? buttons
until
the display shows

Speed Sensitive Suspension
The Speed Sensitive Suspension automatically controls the firmness
of
your Cadillads ride. An actuator
in
each
of
the
four
struts will change
ride firmness depending
on vehicle speed and other driving conditions.
As
the
vehicle speed increases, the firmness
of
the suspension changes
to
one or three damping modes “Comfort”,
for
speeds !ess than 40 mph,
“Normal” for speeds between
40
and
60
rnph, and “Firm” for speeds
greater than 60 mph.
The
system also stiffens damping during hard
acceleration, braking and cornering ,for increased control,
A
computer is used
to
control and monitor the system. The computer
receives speed, acceleration and determines optimum mode strut valving
(or suspension stiffness) for your current operating conditions. The
computer also receives feedback from the struts to determine proper
system operation.
If
the
computer receives an incorrect feedback from
the system, an error code will
be
set
in
memory and a message
“SERVICE
RIDE
CONTROL?
will be displayed until
the
problem is
