A CAUTION:

If you aren't used to a convex mirror, you can --it another
vehicle.
A convex mirror can make things (like other vehicles)
look farther
away than they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the right lane, you could hit
a vehicle on your right. Check
your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.

This option allows you
to open up to three
garage doors. The transmitter unit fits the
overhead panel.
Your Cadillac dealer can tell you about the hand held power pack unit
and the installation you’ll need at home to make this work.
If your
CadilIac
is equipped with an Electriclear” heated windshield, you’ll have
to be closer to the garage door for the transmitter unit
to work.
FLOOR MATS
If your Cadillac is equipped with rubber-backed front and rear floor mats,
keep them clean by vacuuming and using a spot cleaner,
if necessary. Do
not machine wash.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (4.4L
NORTHSTAR)
Your traction control system operates only when the system senses that
one or both of the front wheels
is spinning or beginning to lose traction
while driving. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The
traction control system works at all speeds.
It limits wheel spin by using
the antilock and brake systems to apply the front brakes and by shutting
off
fuel injectors to reduce engine torque.
You may be able to spin the tires when accelerating from a standstill on
dry pavement. This is normal. The “TRACTION ACTIVE” message will

system
is operating.
You may feel the system working through slight movement of the
accelerator pedal, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
Your Driver Information Center
is an important source of information
about your traction control system.
See “Driver Information Center” in
the Index.
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL: YOUR
INFOR2MATION SYSTEM
Your instrument panel is designed to let you know at a glance how your
Cadillac
is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, how much fuel
you’re using, and many
of the other things you’ll need to know to drive
safely and economically.
