How long should
you
keep the coolant heater plugged
in?
The answer depends
on
the outside temperature, the
kind
of
oil you have, and some other things. Instead
of
trying to list everything here, we ask that
you
contact
your
Cadillac dealer
in
the area where you’ll be parking
your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for
that particular area.
The automatic transaxle may have either a shift lever
located on the steering
column
or on the console
between
the
seats.
There are several different positions for the
shift
lever.

PARK
(P):
This
locks the.front wheels. It’s the best
position
to use when you start the engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
It
is
dangerous to get out of your vehicle
if
the
shift lever
is
not
fully
in
PARK
(P)
with
the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle
can
roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine
is
running
unless you have to.
If
you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You
or
others could be injured.
To
be sure your
vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly
leveI ground, always set your
parking
brake and
move the shift lever to
PARK
(P).
See “Shifting Into PARK
(P)”
in
the
Index.
If
you’re pulling
a
trailer, see
“Towing
a
Trailer” in
the Index.
