(Not available on Touring Sedan)
This mirror automatically dims to minimize glare for maximum rear
visibility.
As glare increases, the mirror darkens accordingly. When the
glare subsides, the mirror returns to its clear daytime state.
The mirror
is controlled by the same three position sensitivity switch that
controls the Electrochromic Inside Rearview mirror.
CONVENIENCE NET (OPTION)

Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You’ll see it just inside the back
wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t
for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the trunk as far
forward as you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when you’re not using it.

driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Pkase
follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light goes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light shoula
come
on and turn off as you
start the vehicle. If it
doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed
so it will
be ready to warn you
if
there’s a problem.
This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and will
- stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your
parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem. If the
light comes on while driving, pull
off the road and stop carefully. You may
-_ notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service.

Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
warning light is on. Driving with the brake warning light
on can I
lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds or
so. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come
on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon
as
possible and turn the key off. Then start the engine to reset the system. If
the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your
Cadillac needs service. Unless the regular brake system warning light is
also
on, you will still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, see “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with
