A CAUTION
Unlocked doom can be dangerous.
Passengers - especially children -- can eamy 01 I the doors
and fd out. When a door is locked, the inside handle won't
open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you
slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You are more likely to be thrown *
out of the vehicle in a crash if the doors aren't locked. Weap
safety belts properly, lo& your doors, and you will be far better
offwhenever
you drive your vehicle.
.re are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle:
L
From the outside: Use
your door key.
If your vehicle has a theft deterrent system and it is armed, unlock the
doors only with the key
or Keyless Entry System. This will avoid setting
off the alarm.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For
example, you come over a
hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a
car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems
by braking
-- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t
room. That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering around the problem.
Your Cadillac can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply
your brakes. It is better
to remove as much speed as you can from a
possible collision. Then steer around the problem,
to the left or right
depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If
you are holding the steering wheel at the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock
positions, you can turn it a
full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly
straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object. You must then be
prepared to steer back to your original lane and then brake to a
controlled stop.
Depending on your speed, this can be rather violent for an unprepared
driver. This
is one of the reasons driving experts recommend that you use
your
safety belts and keep both hands on the steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations are always possible
is a good
reason to practice defensive driving at all times.
