warning that you are about to slow down and exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted. Reduce your speed according to your
speedometer, not to your sense
of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds,
you may tend to think you are going slower than you
actually are. For example,
40 mph (65 kmh) might seem like only 20 mph
(30 krn/h). Obviously, this could lead to serious trouble on a ramp
designed
for 20 mph (30 km/h)!
DmNG A LONG DISTANCE
Although most long trips today are made on freeways, there are still
many made
on regular highways.
Long-distance driving on freeways and regular highways is the same in
some ways. The trip has to be planned and the vehicle prepared, you
drive at higher-than-city speeds, and there are longer turns behind the
wheel. You’ll enjoy your trip more if you and your vehicle are in good
shape. Here are some tips for a successful long trip.
BEFORE LEAWNG ONA LONG TMP
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when
you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s work -- don’t plan to make too
many miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and
shoes you can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it serviced and
maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before
starting out.
Of course, you’ll find experienced and able service experts in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready and
willing to help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are all windows clean
inside and outside?
0 Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels?

An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even
when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.

A CAUTION:
Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.
These include liquids like gasoline, oil, coolant, brake fluid,
windshield washer and other fluids, and plastic or rubber. You
or others could be burned. Be careful not to drop or spill things
that will burn onto
a hot engine.
Before closing the hood,
be sure all the filler caps are on properly.
Then just pull the
hood down until it’s about 15 inches (38 cm) from
closing. Then close it firmly.
FLUID USAGE LABEL
Use the fluid usage label to identify the correct fluid you want to check.

level must be in the cross-hatched area.

way.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind
of transaxle
fluid to use.
See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the
level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick. It doesn’t take much
fluid, generally less than a pint. Don’t overfill. We recommend you use
only fluid labeled
DEXRONWIE, because fluids with that label are
made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused
by fluid
other than DEXRONWIE is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under “How to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all
the way.
