22-8 CADILLAC SRX MAINTENANCE I AND II SERVICE SCHEDULES SRX When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL light appears, certain services and inspections are required. Required services are described as Maintenance I and Maintenance II. The first service of a vehicle should be Maintenance I, and the second service should be Maintenance II. Alternate between the 2 services thereafter. However, in some cases, Maintenance II may be required more often. Maintenance I: Use Maintenance I if the CHANGE ENGINE OIL light comes on within 10 months since the vehicle was purchased or, if Maintenance II was performed. Maintenance II: Use Maintenance II if the previous service performed was Maintenance I. Always use Maintenance II whenever the CHANGE ENGINE OIL light comes on 10 months or more since the last service, or, if the CHANGE ENGINE OIL light has not come on at all for one year. Service Item Change the engine oil and filter. Reset the oil life system. Visually inspect the vehicle for leaks or damage. A fluid loss in the vehicle system could indicate a problem. Inspect, repair and add fluid to the system if necessary. Inspect the engine air cleaner filter. If necessary, replace the filter. Rotate the tires. Inspect the tire inflation pressures and the tire wear. Visually inspect the brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect the disc brake pads for wear and the rotors for surface condition. Inspect the drum, brake linings for wear or cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Inspect the parking brake adjustment. Inspect engine coolant and windshield washer fluid levels. Add fluid as needed. Inspect the suspension and steering components. Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, or signs of wear. Inspect the power steering lines and the hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Visually inspect the coolant hoses and replace the hoses if they are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes, fittings and clamps; replace with GM parts as needed. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and pressure cap and cleaning the outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is recommended at least once a year. Ensure the safety belt reminder light and all the belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might keep a safety belt system from working correctly, repair or replaced, the damaged part. Replace torn or frayed safety belts, refer to Operational and Functional Checks in Seat Belts. Inspect for any opened or broken air bag coverings, and repair or replace as needed. The air bag system does require regular maintenance. Lubricate the body components. Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch assemblies, secondary latches, pivots, spring anchor and release pawl, hood and door hinges, rear folding seats and liftgate hinges. Frequent lubrication may be required when exposed to a corrosive environment, refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations . Applying dielectric silicone grease GM P/N 12345579 (Canadian P/N 1974984) or equivalent on the weatherstrips with a clean cloth. Inspect the wiper blades and replace as necessary. Inspect the throttle and fuel system. Replace the passenger compartment air filter. ' . • ' Inspect exhaust system and heat shields.

Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position with the engine OFF. 2. Press and release the stem in the lower center of the instrument cluster until the OIL LIFE message is displayed. 3. Once the alternating OIL LIFE and RESET messages appear, press and hold the stem until several beeps sound. This confirms that the oil life system has been reset to 100 percent. 4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not been reset. Repeat the procedure. 25742_CSRX_C0014

22-10 CADILLAC SRX PRECAUTIONS Before servicing any vehicle, please be sure to read all of the following precautions, which deal with personal safety, prevention of component damage, and important points to take into consideration when servicing a motor vehicle: • Never open, service or drain the radiator, or cooling system when the engine is hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. • Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around fuel. Whenever servicing the fuel system, always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or vapors to come in contact with a spark, open flame, or excessive heat (a hot drop light, for example). Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the work area. Always keep fuel in a container specifically designed for fuel storage; also, always properly seal fuel containers to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion. Refer to the additional fuel system precautions later in this section. • Fuel injection systems often remain pressurized, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must, be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury. • Brake fluid often contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with the eyes and wash your hands thoroughly after handling brake fluid. If you do get brake fluid in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean, running water for 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, or if you have taken GENERAL INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS • Certain components within the ABS ' system are not intended to be serviced or repaired individually. • Do not use rubber hoses or other parts not specifically specified for and ABS system. When using repair kits, replace all parts included in the kit. Partial or incorrect repair may lead to functional problems and require the replacement of components. • Lubricate rubber parts with clean, fresh brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use shop air to clean parts; damage to rubber components may result. • Use only DOT 3 brake fluid from an unopened container. • If any hydraulic component or line is :e n brake fluid in] medical assis' • The EP/^ with used enc of skin disord should make! exposure to u gloves slioulc Wash your ha skin areas as sure to used e waterless nan • All new with an air ba a Supplement Supplemental' tern.

This will reduce the nodule if it is accidentally 'to the additional air bag ions later in this section. ;h quality brake fluid from a r is essential to the safe and aid proper operation of the brake system. You should always buy the correct type of brake fluid' for your vehicle. If the brake fluid becomes contaminated, completely flush the system with new fluid. Never reuse any brake fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from the system should be discarded. Also,, do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with a painted surface; it will damage the paint. • Never operate the engine without the proper amount and type of engine oil; doing so WILL result in severe engine damage. • Timing belt maintenance is extremely important. Many models utilize an interference-type, non-freewheeling engine. If the timing belt breaks, the valves in the cylinder head may strike the pistons, caus- ing potentially serious (also time-consum- ing and expensive) engine damage. Refer to the maintenance interval charts for therec- ommended replacement interval for the tim- • ing belt, and to the timing belt section for belt replacement and inspection. • Disconnecting the negative battery cable on some vehicles may interfere with the functions of the on-board computer system^) and may require the computer to undergo a relearning process once the negative battery cable is reconnected. • When servicing drum brakes, only dis- assemble and assemble one side at a time, leaving the remaining side intact for refer- ence. • .Only an MVAC-trained, EPA-certified automotive technician should service the air conditioning system or its components.
