Hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push down the
parking brake pedal with your left foot. If the ignition is

system warning light will come
on.

it doesn’t, you have a
parking brake problem and should have it fixed.

To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you
apply the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kmih) or
more, you can move the Cruise Control switch from
“ON” to “./A”
(ResumeiAccelerate) for about half a second.

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your
speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you
may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When
going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep
your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise
Control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use
Cruise Control on steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:

This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just
to
let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not
be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please 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.

I_ This light should come on 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. (See “Towing Your Cadillac” in the Index.)
A CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
warning light
is on. Driving with the brake warning light on can
lead to an accident.
If the light is still on after you’ve pulled off
the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for
service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Many city roads and expressways, and even bridges, use reversible-lane
traffic control during rush hours.
A red X light above a lane means no
driving in that lane at that time.
A green arrow means you may drive in
that lane.
Look for the signs posted to warn drivers what hours and days
these systems are in effect.
Pavement markings add
to traffic signs and signals. They give information
to drivers without taking attention from the roadway.
A solid yellow line
on your side of the road or lane means “don’t cross.’’
YOUR OWW SIGNALS
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not only more polite, it’s safer to let
other drivers know what you are doing. And in some places the law
requires driver signals.
Turn and lane change signals. Always signal when you plan to turn or
change lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals out the window: Left arm straight
out for a left turn, down for slow or about-to-stop, and up for a right turn.
Slowing down. If time allows, tap the brake pedal once or twice in
advance of slowing or stopping. This warns the driver behind
you.
Disabled. Your four-way flashers signal that your vehicle is disabled or is
a hazard. See “Hazard Warning Flashers” in the Index.
