Introduction

This manual provides practical guidance on

driving and caring for your Cadillac.

Although this manual describes the most

important differences between model vari-

ants, it does not include their precise speci-

fications. Some differences also occur to

meet national legal requirements.

This manual contains important warning

texts that must always be observed:

We recommend that you read through this

manual before taking the car out for the first

time and that you keep it in the car for future

reference.

Finding your way around this manual is

simple. To find a specific item, use the

search pages at the start of the manual.

A list of contents is provided at the begin-

ning of each section and there is a compre-

hensive alphabetical index at the back of

the manual.

A Warranty and Service Book is supplied

when the car is delivered. This specifies

the regular maintenance to be carried out

and also contains important information on

warranty conditions.

Since the policy at Cadillac is one of con-

tinual improvement, we retain the right to

incorporate modifications and to alter spec-

ifications during production without prior

notice.

3 Asterisk means: equipment not fitted in all

cars (can depend on model variant, engine

variant, market specification, options or

accessories).

An authorised Cadillac dealer would be

glad to help with any queries you may have

concerning your car’s functions, care,

warranty, etc.

Best wishes,

Cadillac
